    Thread title is fairly self-explanatory.

    Only one I tend to read with any consistency is the Sunday Business Post - mostly out of habit more than anything. Also buy the Times occasionally.

    What about ye? Tabloids or broadsheets? Or none?

    None. They usually just fill me with rage and I already have the internet for that.

    The Irish Press.


















    I'm from the 90s.

    Irish Times, Sunday Times occasionally.

    If searching for stuff and finding links, I'll go for the Examiner over the Indo for Irish stuff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,997 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    I subscribe to The Times (Ireland edition, not The Irish Times), read a few articles each day, try to get through a good chunk of the Sunday Times too. That's all electronic though.

    Can't remember the last time I've read a physical newspaper, apart from looking at photos of people I know in the Evening Echo...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,759 ✭✭✭Winterlong


    The Irish times on a saturday.
    The Sunday times.

    I still like the feeling of reading an old fashioned newspaper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I don't read the newspapers, I prefer to get my information without all the hysterics. Most newspapers are no better than listening to a small town gossip. They embellish the story to the point it becomes fiction.

    Irish Times. I even pay for it which is kind of silly given how easy it is to get around the 20 free articles per month on android.

    I read the Guardian although a lot of it is a pain in the arse. The Sunday Tribune or the Sunday Business Post used to be the only papers in Ireland I found worth reading in any way.

    Sir Humphrey: The only way to understand the Press is to remember that they pander to their readers' prejudices.

    Jim Hacker: Don't tell me about the Press. I know *exactly* who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by the people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they *ought* to run the country. The Times is read by the people who actually *do* run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by people who *own* the country. The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by *another* country. The Daily Telegraph is read by the people who think it is.

    Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

    Bernard Woolley: Sun readers don't care *who* runs the country - as long as she's got big tits.

    I used to buy the Sunday Times every weekend but now I do my news reading online. The Guardian, The Onion and a little bit of a place called alternet.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,915 ✭✭✭The flying mouse


    Just read online , don't subcribe to any, with news live on your device sure why would you bother.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,658 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Local papers still sell a fair amount I'd imagine.
    Don't see any reason for buying a newspaper,sports or the ponies maybe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I read somewhere recently that the Daily Mail sell 12 million physical copies a week in Britain and Ireland.

    Still a big business for some.

    Indo and Hearld also seem to have a decent daily circulation in Ireland. Steady numbers being sold.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,216 ✭✭✭Mister Vain


    I stopped buying the paper after they cancelled the boobs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    The Daily Mail is apparently one of the biggest news websites in the world as well. I'm forever hearing a load of cat about how the internet has forever shaped our attitude to the news and the media and all that jazz but it seems to me people still get their news online from the same traditional sources they always did.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,860 ✭✭✭Ragnar Lothbrok


    Can't remember last time I bought a national newspaper. I still buy the Evening Echo occasionally, but only once or twice a fortnight at most.

    I used to buy the Independent (the English one) and liked that, but I'm not even sure it still exists.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I am down to the Irish Times, mostly at the weekend. Is funny. I used to be a huge newspaper reader but have petered off. Got sick of having Sunday supplements lying around the house for weeks. Now I mostly just stick my head in a book.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 81,219 ✭✭✭✭biko


    I get my news and opinions from After Hours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,759 ✭✭✭degsie


    The IT, hence I would have a thread title of "What newspapers do you read, if any?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,646 ✭✭✭✭qo2cj1dsne8y4k


    None ain't nobody got time fo dat.
    Sometimes I'll flick through the local paper to look at the court page but I wouldn't buy it, glorified photo album that it is

    The Daily Mail website is hilarious. News? what news? But when something newsworthy happens that they feel they HAVE to report on... have to say their picture coverage is ace.

    Whiles away an hour or so too.

    Otherwise everything online from all around the world including here. Those not behind a paywall that is of course.

    Buy the Business Post on Sundays, the only physical paper I buy.
