It’s a totally declining activity, but do any of you still read newspapers?

ETA: to avoid confusion, this does not include online newspaper articles. Asking solely about hard print papers.

My co worker that still uses a flip phone brings a paper to work. He's so weird.

I know it’s old fashioned but for me it’s nice to wake up and go walk out to pick up the newspaper in the morning. Even if I only read a little. And I’ll just recycle the paper and use the bags to pick up after the dog so it’s a win win.

i passed a newspaper stand with a NYT paper in it and saw it was SIX DOLLARS

what better way to increase your viewership than charging $6 for the Sunday Times.

No I used to subscribe to three different ones. I would pick up one in every town I went to. Newspaper journalism sucks today.

I don’t subscribe, but there is nothing more enjoyable than reading the paper while drinking your morning coffee. Reading online doesn’t even compare...

yes. I get one at work, and don't want to subscribe online to read. So I read a hard copy.

The advocate throws them in my yard, I've never paid for them or read them.

I just stick to enraging click bait articles now. I much prefer that over a journalist with integrity.

I subscribe to the wsj. I think home delivery is the same price as online, so I get a paper every morning too.

I read online 95% of the time, but I do read the print weekend edition.

The advocate is straight garbage. It’s only good for paper mache, crawfish tables and birdcages

No because newspapers are bare bones these days. Not worth price of subscription

Yes I do. I stare at a computer screen all day at work or at my phone, the last thing I want to do in the morning with a cup of coffee is read an article on a 6" device.
