Do you read the newspaper back to front or front to back?

So you would not really read many pages of the paper at all then.

I also stared a discussion on 'newspaper' sometime back. May like to see/read: http://www.mylot.com/w/keywords/do+you+miss+your+newspaper.aspx

Wow a newspaper lover, have not heard anyone say that they love it that much before, that is really good. You would definately be well informed of news around the world and the latest sports update.

That's interesting having the trivial news section at the back. Here we always have the sports section at the back.

Well.. The sports section comes second last!!

So I see you like unsolved mysteries you would probably like the shoe Cold Case then as they solve murder mysteries from years ago. Have you seen that movie? I am like you too reading whatever catches ny eye.

I actually haven't watched that movie but yeah I like to read stories like that. Most of them were solved a long time ago and only a few weren't solved. But it also deals with other stuff besides murder.

I believe there are ple who read the whole papers, but for me, i will only read wat i wanna read.. If i feel bored later in the day, maybe i will pick up the papers again to read wat i've missed earlier.. lol

It seems like you are in the minority group in this discussion, most people start at the front. I wonder how many people actually do read the whole paper, not many by the sounds of it. Just shows how important headlines need to be.

hello kiran-you are right in wat you say,but i think it would brighten everyone's day up if there was some good news in the papers now too blessings littleowl

I agree littleowl, it can become quite depressing reading all the bad news all the time. I think they should publish alot more good news, like miracles and stories of heros. That would surely brighten up your day.

Lol, if it was a magazine on the other hand would you feel weird starting at the back(gossip section)? I always start at back in magazines. If they changed the sport section at the back to something that interests you then you may go to back first. I think the Japanese people always read back to front, that would be strange? I like to go to the back then for gossip section in magazine.

Sorry for repeating myself in my comments, 4am here, bit tired.

Yes I am like you too with reading mags from the back first, funny how women love to catch up on the gossip.

a bit of gossip keeps us going!!! but i dont know if you find that a lot of mgazines run the same storylines..i definately dont think that you would read the mags that i read....but there are two in particular that are very very alike!!!!.....thats Woman and Womans own.... Though i love magazines the price of them puts me off!!..i love the house magazines...and the country life mags but they are very very expensive!

I read mainly Woman's Day and New Idea. I do find that they have alot of the same gossip, lol, read one and you don't need to read any of the other magazines. I agree magazines are quite expensive. Have not really bought house magazines before, so not sure on there price.

Hi Rosekitty, sounds like you read the newspaper quite thoroughly. Never heard of Dear Abby, sounds interesting though, what is that section about? I am also a little nosy, good to have a laugh sometimes about all the gossip.

Morning again! Yes I tend to keep up with the news as bad as it can be sometimes..need something good to read lol..Dear Abby is a sister to Ann Landers..the twin advise columnists who would listen to your crying or complaints about divorce, life, family and give you advise back. Does this ring a bell? if not maybe they don't carry them in your state paper. I used to wish i could be like them cause sometimes it could get funny and you knew you were in charge and they would believe what you'd say..kinda like the weatherman lol

Cartoons hey, I never really have read them myself. What type of cartoons are they publishing these days? Do you write cartoons yourself. I like reading the horoscopes too.

Interesting, I thought there would be alot more people here like yourself that start at the back because of the sports section. But it seems like there are only a select few so far. The headlines are crucial I think, if they don't grab your attention then alot of people do not bother reading the article.

Yes I agree, the finance section would be quite boring, can't say I have ever read that part before.

Hello, yes I mostly skim read the articles too, takes too long to read whole article. If however an article has really caught my eye I will read every detail.

Good thing the lead of the article has the most umportant information up the top that way you can see whether the article is worth reading.

Well atleast you hair is flat alot of the time, lol. Newspapers can be boring sometimes. I think they are useful for job hunters and share buyers and also people who are looking to buy things though.
