Well I like things light-hearted so I'd read the comics section first! Knowing that the rest of the paper is going to be about various heavy-going events... politics... accidents... natural disasters etc. I usually don't read the sports pages though, even though I'm a sports fan. Probably because to me sports is one of those things to be watched rather than read about. But I understand I'm the exception here. By the way, seems like most of us start with the comics first huh.

I agree that sports need to watched rather than read about but there are too many to see them all AND not all of them can be watched. I want to read about what my teams did the day before.....everything from high school to the pros.

i usually read the entertainment section first because i want the light stories before venturing into the hard core headlines. ive been doing that since i started to read the newspapers. the headlines makes my stomach roll if i read it first.

For me the first section i move to is the business section and go for company related news and economy facts. I need to go through these news to make my decisions relating to investment in stocks. A wrong decision and it would result in a heavy loss,so analysing data is key and for that one needs to have a good set of information on the stock.

I usually read the headlines first, but I don't read more of the paper than I do read. I make sure to read the world headlines and the local headlines and the obituaries, but have gotten away from reading the entertainment pages and the comics. I always read my horoscope, too, but it doesn't very often match my day!

well, i'm also the type who reads from the front to back. it's usually arranged from the headlines to other news to sports in general. but i tend to read everything loudly more or less, to improve my pronunciation. also, when i was young, i used to hope that i could be like those newscasters on tv. thus, due to this, i tend to prefer headlines as for gossips, the reading style would have to be a little different from how i'd actually like to read. also, i am updated on current events around the world.

Well, naturally the headlines because its what I automatically see first. Then I go directly to the Entertainment section. Inside there I go straight to the tv guide. find the shows that I watch, what time, what channel then I take note of it. Then I browse through the new movie releases make a mental note to watch out for it on video. Then I read through the entire entertainment section. After that I read the sections one by one(if I have time), starting with the style sections then onto the other lifestyles. But I dont read the Business sectoin though, all I read in that section is the peso-dollar exhange rate. If it has gone down or has gone up. Then I go to the headlines (strange right?reading the first section last). I actually dont read all of it. I just browse and see if tehre are titles that are of interest to me, thats the only time I read the whole article. you must be wondering in all of this when I read the comics?hehe well, I actually save it for the night, I make it my reading material before sleeping. After Ive finished the comics, I rip out the crossword puzzle, or whatever puzzle is on the comics page. I save it for a rainy day like in cases of blackouts or something.

My paper does not have sections really. I will start at page one and look trough it. I'll read the parts that interest me. Sometimes I'll look at the last page first as the tv-guide is there.

I usually read the headlines or basicly the first page. We now get our local news online because its cheaper. My town is pretty small so the headlines can at times be amusing and lame as they just have to really try to find good headlines. The local news has gotten more intresting as the town has gotten bigger over the years. I really do like the local news the best though as the national news can be too bad at times.

I also read the headlines first - because it's basically the first thing I see. Then I go to the comics page and then to the Lifestyle section.

I used to go through the feedback column which has voices that describe their view stand on a particular day to day crisis and it lets us get a clear idea about whats right and whats wrong as it is the only column in a newspaper which is unbiased.

The comics!!! hehehehe.... I buy a newspaper (Manila Bulletin) and a tabloid everyday. A pain in my pocket but I think its a habit I can't get out of my system. after getting the comic section and trying to answer the puzzle I start browsing from the newspaper from end to the front page (I open it from right to left)
