Newspapers...are they done!
I love them because they no longer try and compete with "blogs"...also called leaks...

I like the fact they are more full service...crosswords, comics, local...

Just the fact I can hold it my hand

Call me old....

Plus my dog can crap on it

I still read them just like I always do, but do read alot of things online too. With the Internet now being so dominant, alot of the time I will read the newspaper online, especially when at work & such.

I like to read the paper because it's right in front of me without have to click back and forth.

I always look for friends in the crime section lol.

Stopped subscribing to our local newspaper about a year ago. I know there`s some good newpapers out there in different states and cities, but the one we have over here is down right horrible. I read different newspapers online and really enjoy it.

I read the Courier Journal and the Indy Star sport sections every day, but I miss the little stories that the papers have the the internet doesn't.....I then catch up from my little towns going ons once a week.
