When Was the Last Time You Read a Real Newspaper?
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
I read my local paper every week, along with the paper from my hometown. Everything else is online.
Does glancing at headlines while stuck in line at a convenience store behind someone buying scratch-off tickets count?
I used to walk outside and pick up my copy of the WSJ every morning until about six years ago.
Digital now. Local paper? It’s been almost twenty years.

It's wild how often this happens. And these people have no shame or care about the lines they cause to form.
I read the Washington Post hard copy whenever I’m in DC. I love it!
One of my customers in Indianapolis always has a hard copy of the Indy Star in their break room, so I usually read it when I’m there. Other than that I probably haven’t read a hard copy of a newspaper since hotels stopped sliding copies of USA Today under the door about 15 or 20 years ago.
One of my pleasures per the week of vacation in northern Minnesota every year is leisurely reading the hard copy Star-Tribune each day. Still a pretty good paper.
Otherwise, pretty much just online. Will buy the odd CR Gazette at Hyvee every once in awhile when the mood hits me.

Holding a newspaper is tactile, almost like smooching with a woman
I had read at least one newspaper daily from the time I could read until about six months ago. I finally gave up because the delivery was late or missed too frequently. It was a sad day. It had been part of my mortgage routine for nearly 60 years. For years I had my daily local, with the NYT on weekends.
Now I just read a couple of NYT and WSJ articles that are sent to my email every morning. After that I get my news from Facebook, Truth Social, and HBOT.

The year was 2000. It was an unusually cool morning that day and I decided to buy the 1999 FSU National Championship edition of the Tallahassee Democrat. Pretty sure that was the last time I read a newspaper. I still have that paper somewhere in the house.
I read it for the tabloids and sports, I come here if I want fact-free news
I read the Las Vegas Review Journal once or twice a week. Mostly for the gambing and sports news. The business part can be really interesting.
My father still gets his newspaper every day. When I'm over there I'll pick it up and leaf through it. I kind of miss not getting one but know that I wouldn't read it as much as I should. Real question is how many people still actually watch the news? My wife does but I can't stand it.They still exist, don't they?
