What good is the newspaper if we have telivision?

Agree on killing the trees. However papers are useful, think about going to work and having nothing to do in the process... what do you do? You can read a newspaper... and the examples may go on... Most of the papers this day became digital, being readable on the internet and becoming more than just a newspaper, adding interaction in the relation newspaper - reader, like a forum, where you can post your opinion or a video section, etc

Well what good is the TV when we have Internet? :-) I get all my news from the Internet.

Although I agree that the television gives me all the breaking news instantly and can get that updated one.I still prefer newpapers because I can read it comfortably.

I live in a small town and we do not get featured on the news unless it is a very big story. I like to know what is going on local and I can not get it from the TV news. I have to read the paper to know the local events and happening. I also recycle our papers so as not to kill so many trees.

news papers,telivision,online new sites..each of these things r in their own way good. i think television these days don't provide the full story, they prone to focus more on those sides of the news which r more spicy and this way many times they move away from the real subject and don't give full facts about it. i think reading a news paper gives less stress to ur eyes then watching tv. and who really contains most of the local news and notices a news paper or a news channel? also in my opinion reading news paper is more relaxing then to watch tv and newspaper gives more indepth news on a topic!:) as far as i know most of the leading newspapers in the world have started to use recycled paper so there's not much problem of killing the trees today.
