Why do people still buy newspapers when you can get all the info for free online? I don't understand that myself...

Sometimes low-tech is nice. I don't do it that often, but it's a good feeling to sit down with a newspaper and a cup of coffee.

Well, I've never understood why people would want to sit above their own crap and read the paper either. I guess I'll just stay mystified :)

The typeface in a paper is easier on the eyes - and it's not surrounded by distracting boxes, offers, things dancing about.

 

You often notice other items of interest. There occasionally other viewpoints.

 

And I have chronically seen on-line content edited, or truncated, compared to the print version. Additionally, print items offer a better chance of reading something with fact behind it - they are under more scrutiny IMO than the gazillions of net sites, for libel and slander suits.

I was more talking about sites like usatoday.com, not general net sites :thumbsup:

Ah, I see. But even they have more content in their print version. I don't read it much - it tends a bit toward the tabloid end of the biz (which is fine). Nice sports coverage, though. :thumbsup:

Because our local papers webpage sucks. Most of the time they will either never put an article online, or if they do, 1/2 to 2/3 of it will be missing.

 

 

just stop at the local hotel , get the free breakfast and read the paper . why buy ?

That's what I do just about every week for USA Today.
