I like watching the news and still like to read the newspaper during weekends because the news have more for leisure activities the family can go to. I don't read much news in the internet too. I also like catching flash reports on tv for updates.

i always try to read the sunday papers. they have more added features during sundays and i love it when i flip over through pages of it.
i don't usually read news online. but i get to see news on tv almost every night. it's more comfortable for me since i can see some videos taken and i can see reporters doing their jobs.

i don't read the newspaper anymore because we don't have newspaper at home (that's true! lol!) and i don't have time to read them in case we have one. what i do is read the news online or i try to catch up with the news on tv when i get home from work.

We have newspaper delivered in our house daily but to be honest, only my dad reads them everyday. I do, however, read them every weekend. We're busy with work and school that we are not that updated anymore with whats happening. I know its a shame not to know whats going on in our country so I do my best to catch the 6pm news in GMA7 or visit their website to catch up on the news online.

i watch the news online, usually once a day, the world has become so interested in things that don't really matter, i think one news show a day is enough for me, otherwise you just see the same stories over and over!!

yep. we usually get the same stories from the newspaper, to the tv news show and even on the net. nothing seems to be different at all. except for how we get the news from.

I must admit, I don't get to read newspapers nowadays. We don't have subscription of newspaper at home. I just watch on TV if time allows. But I would still somehow trade the other shows for the news. I can only read newspaper sometimes during weekends, when we do visit my inlaws cause they do have newspapers everyday.

I like to read both, you get a wider view of what is really going on that way. I also listen to a variety of news broadcasts, although I do tend to stay away from television as I really feel they all report one way. As on television reporter put it to John Kerry "I make the news" that kind of turned me off to broadcast news.

I read the news paper. I find it more relaxing reading a newspaper than reading it on the computer. It's also a habit. I must admit I have greatly reduced my news watching on TV. Earlier I had to wait for the news program now I just simply check the news at my convenience. Regards

I still read the newspaper every single day without fail! I love the newspapers. I always anticipate what will come out tomorrow. I enjoy reading the comics and the various articles they have.
The news are okay too but some are really sad and depressing, so the news aren't that popular with me. I also like the Books and Youth sections in newspapers. No, I don't read it online, I read the real newspaper. I usually read The Star, the Malaysian newspaper. I think it is the most popular paper here in Malaysia.
I feel it is the most popular too. It's very good and informative and colourful. I love newspapers!

I watch the news, I listen to the radio news, I read newspapers. Its true that we hear the same things over and over again. But in the newspapers, I get to learn new stuff from other featured articles. My dad, who just got back from a short vacation from Canada, refused to listen to the radio news or even read newspapers, politics here in the Philippines makes him sick.

reading the newspaper while sipping a mug of freshly brewed coffee is what i enjoy the most in the morning when i was still in the P.I. but eversince i moved here in the US, i can count in my fingers the number of times i've held and read a newspaper. as they say, time is gold so i just read the news online when i have a free time. sometimes i feel bad because i am so behind with the news. =(

I subscribe to the newspaper thinking that there might be something in it I may want to read but I usually just let it stay in my yard until a neighbor comes by and ask for it.

I usually read the school newspaper here everyday during lunch. They do a good job of covering news on campus and cover national stories as well, although not as in depth. I'll occasionally look at the news online or catch a bit of the news on tv while I'm flipping through channels but other than that I don't really keep up on it too much.

i still prefer reading newspaper than watching news on tv. i have different satisfaction whnever i get to read newspapers, added by the fact that i can cut and compile articles that interest me.

i prefer reading the news online.But if it is not possible to do so someday,then i go through the newspaper.I don't watch much television though.When i read news online,i have the option of going through various articles on different news site.this becomes limited if i stick to just reading one newspaper.

I do still read the newspaper, although my town has an online version, both I and my husband enjoy different parts of the paper and we can split it up and then share with eachother articles that we like. I almost always read all of my towns local news and politics sections, it is really the only place that I will get this type of information on local events.
I also do the crossword and since I buy fridays paper I can see all the new movie releases and read the reviews on the same page. For the local theaters I find that this is more convienent than online information.
