Just curious as news print publicatiosn are taking a beating here in the states. If you do have a subscription, what do you subscribe to?

The Wichita Eagle is our paper of choice.

I'm a big Lincoln Journal-Star fan myself. The Omaha World-Herald has the better sunday edition though, so I usually buy it off the newspaper rack.

Wichita Eagle-they do have a neat website, I remember reading it a time or two when the whole BTK thing was going on.

Considering it is the only major paper around, it isn't bad, But I know of at least one conservative Christian paper one can pick up at various Wal-marts and grocery stores. It's a free publication. I forgot to mention our Times-Sentinnel, which serves several small towns out here in the western part of the county. Of course we have to be careful not to blink, or we'll miss OUR town's news, since the editor and most of the staff are from a different town..but hey, I have a friend from church who writes for them, so I know if my kids get their pic in the paper they'll have their names spelled correctly.

Ooops, almost forgot, there's nice independent paper from the West Side of Wichita that comes with our local Times once or twice a month(the Times is a weekly publication)..that westside thing is deeply rooted in the rivalry between West Wichita and the East..since the city was founded back in 1871 or so..
 
I don't subscribe to any, but I do read the two local papers that appear on my kitchen table on a Friday (one is delivered the other my parents buy). I also like to nab a Metro if I can whenever I go up to Glasgow on the train. Mainly it's just for the puzzles and Nemi comic, but I read whatever else interests me. I might get a paper on a regular basis once I'm in university though.

(I know you're more concerned with American papers, but I thought I'd throw in my random reply anyway. :rolleyes: )
 
I do subscribe to a newspaper. It's a weekly called the Sunday Times.

Funny thing is that I never receive it.. Thanks for reminding me!

Not a problem, I'm a big online fan of the U.K. Independent and the Irish Times.
 
I don't. The only newspapers that I would be interested in reading on a daily basis are the NYT and the Boston Globe. Neither of which are available for delivery where I live. I've begged (in writing and via phone) nobody seems interested in coming out here except the crap locals. I figure I'm better off not reading those. I think that they may actually kill brain cells. I do read news online when I can.
 
Not American papers but i'll answer anyway :p
I'm subscribed to a local newspaper. Also i'm planning on subscribing this month to a British classic music magazine (i wonder if i'll actually receive it).
 
They provide free copies of the NYT at my university, so I'm taking advantage of that as much as I can during my stay here.
 
I read The Age at work, and scan the local. The Herald Sun, for any potential visitors to Melbourne, should be avoided like the plague.
 
The idaho statesman, the biggest local paper and the only one published for my city. We also have two free local weekly magazines though which I always pickup. And a spanish newspaper I read at the shops
 
I get the NY Times Sunday paper. I read my local paper, The Columbus Dispatch, on weekdays when I'm at work, which is why I don't subscribe.
 
I subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. If I had time to read two papers, I would also subscribe to the USA Today.

My local paper, the San Diego Union/Tribune is a horrible paper. A typical midweek edtion has a business section only two pages long and it's mostly AP reports. The sports section is probably eight to ten pages and has several U/T staff reporters in addition to the syndicated stories they carry. However, what really irks me about the paper is how it is so constrained by the bounds of political correctness dealing with issues of race and crime.

A newspaper and coffee are one of my favorite activites.
 
The Omaha World-Herald called and offered me a 3 month daily subscription for $24.00. I was very excited and took it. I think I'll keep the subscription, I really enjoy the paper a lot.
 
Welp, I guess I should change my vote to no. I moved to a new address a little over a year ago and the delivery service is horrid. I either didn't get my paper at all, or it was somewhere out in front of the complex, or worst of all, at my neighbor's. After a half dozen complaints I had to call it quits. I know my neighbor's are getting sick of getting my paper because they just kick it off of their stoop and onto the sidewalk. As I posted in this thread a few months ago, a newspaper and coffee are heaven. I had to let heaven go due to delivery boy incompetence.
