How often do you read a newspaper? Where do you get your news from?

I too seldom read the newspaper - mainly just if I'm looking for something in particular such as a job or item to purchase. Most of my news comes from the internet, lately Yahoo News catches my attention with the headlines at least. I avoid TV news and most news of all kinds because it's all so negative - you rarely hear the good stuff.

I read the newspaper every day. I get two papers I get my towns local paper and I get a paper a froma bigger city that is about 30 miles from me it gives a lot more news. I love reading things like the baby names and seeing the pictures of the kids playing baseball and doing dance recitals etc. There is alot of sad news in them to though sometimes just reading the local paper can make you cry!

I read the Philippine news online since I cannot afford to buy the hard copy o fthe newspaper and I just enjoy reading.

I rarely read the newspapers but I do watch many different news programs such as CNN and other news stations where I live plus programs like Dateline, 2020 and WFive. I am more likely to watch a news program then a regular tv show. I do agree with you on the fact that the news is too negative and I really do think they should always end there programing with 10 - 15 min of uplifting stories! I have seen people get so depessed from watching the news that they have no choice but to stop watching it to help them selves get out of the depressed funk. When you see so much negative on the news it is easy to fall into a slump. I always thought it didn't affect me that way but I realized this past year it does and I to need to take it in small doses. I truly think all daily news shows have a responsibility now a days to lift up there audience with positive and encouraging news stories.

We get the Sunday paper and that's it. I like to watch the news on TV every day so that I get the lastest right then and there instead of waiting for the paper the next day. I want to know where the danger zones are so I can stay the heck away from them. So the Sunday paper is all we get and hopefully it has coupons!! LOL

I read online newspapers every day. I'm just too lazy to buy them in the shop. But most often I skip the political part, and just read the fun part of them, sports, culture, science, entertainment. I think it is important to read them, or at least check them, cause many times there are important news which are useful to me sometimes.

I read most of my news from the net, but I read my local newspaper in actual print every week.

The only time i listen to the news is when a storm may be coming.I watch ESPN News for my sports news and I really don't care about politics,so I only watch my local news for the weather.

I don't take the Houston paper because like you all it has is a lot of bad news..Its very depressing to read all those things..I sometimes read the bad news on the internet...We have a weekly papaer that is supposs to come to our house once a week, but most of the time they do not throw it, but when they do i will read it.Its mostly just has the news right around the area where we live...

The only newspaper I read is the local one in our city which I pick up at the metro station when i'm taking the bus or train. Most of the time I watch the news on tv and or read news online.

I used to always subscribe to our local newspaper, ctry, but gave it up completely once I got on the internet. Besides, someone would always steal my Sunday paper if I wasn't out of bed early enough to get it myself. All across the country newspapers are going out of business due to widespread use of the internet. I do miss reading the paper at my leisure, however. I would just skim over all the bad stuff. It is very depressing.

normally i don't read the newspaper in my country just because all major newspaper is controlled by a political party or something like to that so news that journalist gives is just to support their party and not the fact!!so if you read a newspaper from a side or another pfacts and purposes about it change dramatically in some cases for a newspaper there is a news and for another there is the contrary of that news and all seem much more gotesque than information in itself!!

I read at least two newspapers every day, not cover to cover, but the main stories in them. I read them all online, since I can search for specific stories and also use the links to the keywords that some newspapers provide. That allows me to read the topic further. I also get my news from a few independent sites as well as some blogs.

I watch the evening news -- mainly for the weather updates. I get my newspaper online in print edition to save trees. I subscribe to that at $5 a month which is 3/4 the cost of having it delivered each day and I'm not killing any trees by having it printed then thrown out when I get done. I just X out of the browser window.

i read newspaper and watch tv or get it from offline

atleast once in a day.. its very important to read newspaper.. gived u all the details happening around u ..

I seldom read newspapers, most of the times I get news from watching them on tv and on the net as well. Some tv news are poorly-reported, sometimes they sensationalize such and so it's either I turn the tv off or switch to other programs. My father is the one who uses the newspapers, since he's working abroad, we don't buy them. I am only interested on feel-good news, informative types and sports. So I just look for them here on the net, where I can also see other's opinions when discussed on forums..

Hi my friend, I read it everyday. I have a subscription through which, it is delivered to my home. Mostly I read sports, culture and politics related topics. Not very much into local news. The newspaper i read it is international-oriented. There are local news but concentration is more on worldwide stuff. Thanx

I read our local newspaper every day. We have a older couple that lives next to us and when they finish their paper they leave it on our back porch for us to read too. We live in a small town, so its a small paper.

I read the newspaper backwards. My parents always had the first two sections. I'm always looking for a job and I like the funnies the best. After seeing that there really is work in the world and funny commentaries about life, I can take the rest of the paper so much better. Try it, backwards is better. I also watch the TV News and listen to news on the radio in my car.
