What Newspaper do you read?

The Irish Catholic

NEVER

But is it still in publication? My neighbour used to give us her copy every week, right up until she died in 1994. My Dad reckoned it was great for lighting the fire!

I buy the guardian 6 days a week since I was 18-it was only 10p in college and they got me hooked like liberal crack dealers. I usually end up buying a Sunday rag like the World or Indo when I'm in the newsagents pissed on a Saturday night and they have the early editions in so I have something to read while I'm eating my taco fries.

The Sunday Times
A wide variety of articles and some of my favourite writers (AA Gill, Bryan Appleyard, Andrew Sullivan, Paul Anthony McDermott, Jeremy Clarkson)

None. Why would I want to read a newspaper that only tells me about stuff that happened yesterday?

I use an Android phone app which displays news stories based on custom search words/terms & news stories for various categories that interest me. Instant news that is of interest to me.

Shryke · 30-03-2012 02:55PM

The Guardian.

44leto · 30-03-2012 03:16PM

I buy the Sunday times and during the week I get my news from the internet and go ould RTE.

Capt'n Midnight · 30-03-2012 06:39PM

Where is the option for the Metro / free papers ?

Formation · 25-04-2012 04:54AM

Do ye buy newspapers much these days or use the websites to get your news?

If you do buy a paper which one would you buy the most?

Gloomtastic! · 25-04-2012 05:59AM

I love Newspapers! I have great difficullty passing one without having a quick browse.

Used to buy one every day now restrict myself to a Sunday and if I'm lucky a Saturday as well. Sunday Times and Independent respectively.

Toilet paper.

danniemcq · 25-04-2012 08:10AM

The Sunday Times when i'm having one of those lazy weekends.

Apart from that I get most of my news from sources on twitter and google +. I'd still buy magazines though, I find that with working from morning to evening by the time i'd get a paper to read it would all be old news in this day and age.

toexpress · 25-04-2012 08:11AM

Indo on a Saturday that's it

Mint Sauce · 25-04-2012 08:13AM

Irish Times Weekend Edition

Donegal News or Donegal Democrat (weekly)

Everything else I get online, usally bbc.co.uk and thisislondon.com (london evening stanard)

RachaelVO · 25-04-2012 08:16AM

I buy our local weekly paper of a Thursday
The Farmers Journal is a good read too, not just for farmers. Lots of machinery and equipment, lads find that interesting

Mr Benevolent · 25-04-2012 09:03AM

I don't read or watch the news. Far better that way.

fasttalkerchat · 25-04-2012 09:05AM

Irish Times an odd friday. If I'm stuck at an airport of train station I get the independent or guardian (uk) or the Irish News for the football. Apart from that its all online!

xflyer · 25-04-2012 09:23AM

I used to be an avid reader of newspapers. Always bought one a day. I'd wade through two or three papers every Sunday.

Then one day I stopped and now I hardly ever bother. When I do read one now I usually skim most of it and always regret it.

I don't know if they changed or I did. Maybe I just don't like bad news anymore. But maybe it's a bit of both. All too often you realise while reading something, that the so called journalist is just filling column inches and has nothing really to say that couldn't be said here in AH. In fact sometimes the standard of journalism in AH is better. Not to mention in the rest of the forums here.

It wasn't the internet that killed my interest because quite frankly I don't read the news on the internet either.

Better off really.
