Do you get a newspaper delivered to your residence?

[exitseven]

Get your paper!

I used to get a paper until about 10 years ago. Then I just got the Sunday paper. The local paper has become just an anti conservative rag that I gave up the whole thing.

[WindAtMyBack]

I quit about 12-15 years ago. I used to read the paper almost every day. I've gone long periods that I went through every page. I've been pretty disenfranchised with the news for a much longer time. I no longer had any motivation to read it.

I quit watching television news in the 90s and quit reading the paper 12-15 years ago. Now I don't read any news at all unless someone brings it up. Quite frankly I can get by with no news whatsoever.

The news is BS. Not just because it's biased as hell, but the very nature of news seriously distorts reality. I started watching the news in the early days of when Kennedy was president. It was a long run, but it ended. It should have ended in the late 70s when the news stopped being the news and started being editorial.

[Sparkie460]

I stopped it 5 years ago. It's over priced trash

[exitseven]

yes, it is expensive.
When I was a kid I used to sell papers in the town square. I got a hundred papers and sold them before school. I mostly sold them the the same guys every day. They would stop on their way to work and buy a paper. One guy used to read the paper and carefully refold it and give them back to me at the end of the week. I could return them for credit.

[Sparkie460]

That was a nice customer.

[exitseven]

yes, he did not have to do that. My regular customers used to tip me on Fridays.

[Sparkie460]

Thanks for the mho

[TrueConfection]

Not anymore. Our paper stopped printing during the week and became a "weekend paper" (no more Sunday paper either). That was reduced to about 6 pages. Borrrring!

I cancelled all of our periodicals for the same reason you mentioned above.

[exitseven]

Yes, I used to have subscriptions to a few magazines. It got t the point that they were all ads with very little content. I never renewed them.

[loves2learn]

My parents do…

[loves2learn]

Thank you kindly 😇

I think the last time that I had a print subscription to a newspaper was the Albany Times-Union for a short time I think circa 1996; I had a trial subscription.

However, when I lived in Los Angeles from 1992 to 1993, I did have a subscription to The New York Times; LA was one of the few cities outside of New York where you could get home delivery of the NYT.

I don't have a print subscription to any newspapers now, but I pay about $800/year for digital subscriptions to The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal - 3 of the 4 "Newspapers of Record" in the United States (the 4th being the Los Angeles Times).

[Sour-rose]

that was like... years ago. I worked for a newspaper company... for two mornings. Two mornings and I thought it would be easy... it was the goddamn worst thing i've ever done this year. Deliver papers to ungrateful, old assholes, and then do it again next morning. And hurry up befoe the sun ge-

I see why the other guy quit. I followed his steps. Quick.

[sage2021]

I used to subscribe to the Sunday paper years ago. The coupons that were in the paper saved me enough money to get the paper free.
Just a few years ago I would pick up the local paper and my favorite part of it was the editorials. I would get printed on almost every submission. It was great until the Editor retired and I quit submitting anything.

[Lliam]

I don't patronize mainstream media outlets.
I know people who read publications like the NYT and Wall Street Journal from cover to cover every day and think they are bright and informed. Those people are members of the brainwashed masses.

[exitseven]

I used to think the Wall Street Journal was on the level but lately i question its validity as well.

[Lliam]

They are all owned by the same handful of globalists and echo the same desired narratives.
It's a long-standing social engineering tactic that manufactures the illusion of consensus in order manipulate the masses.

[exitseven]

yes and it is the same with radio stations.

[Lliam]

All corporate media.

[woman_2004]

Lol I don’t live in a house like you wealthy pple so no

[exitseven]

You can have a paper delivered to an apartment. When I was in college there were kids in the dorm that used to get a newspaper delivered to their dorm room.

[FunkyMonkee]

I used to get the daily paper, then just the Sunday paper, then none at all. The local here has turned into nothing more than a kind of brag sheet loaded with ads for local businesses. About 4 pages of it is actual content, the other dozen or so are just ads. I don't get charged for it, anymore! When I DO get it, I hardly ever even look through it!
I also used to deliver all three of them!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Sometimes the local new people throw me a free paper to try to earn my business however I get my news online nowadays.

[MTC29]

I'm old, but not that old. So far as I know, my 80-year-old mother still gets the LA Times- a liberal rag, delivered every morning.

[Jamie05rhs]

I did once. But that was only for 6 months. I didn't renew my subscription.

[exitseven]

why is that?

[AviatorTom]

Nope. Haven't even read a newspaper in several years. I get all my news on TV, radio and the Internet.

[maximumpower]

also opted to not get the paper about 10 years ago.
1) no need to pay for something i can get for free online.
2) cuts down on waste/trash
3) saves resources
4) saves $
i see it as a win/win.

[SaartjieJane]

I sure do. I use it to start the fire inside, clean windows or use it to start the braai.

[BCRanger10]

No. I haven't had one in years. There's one I've thought about subscribing to, but we'll see.

[ChrisMaster69]

I’ve not had an actual newspaper or even magazine for years.

i sort of miss the Sunday morning read of Times, Telegraph while having breakfast and coffee.

These days though I just do it on iPad, it’s not the same but serves a purpose.

[Prettygurl12]

We get a newspaper semi regularly. Possibly every day or 3x a week? We never signed up for it, but it came with the house when we moved in late last year. Haven't gotten around to figuring out how to cancel it yet.

[menina]

I've never had a newspaper delivered to my residence, not even when I was little. I live on the 5th floor so I doubt anyone would deliver a newspaper to me.

[Likes2drive]

I probably stopped it 10 years ago but I still see get delivered to my stepdad

[nomadme]

Yes, a daily newspaper. There's so much fun in reading a newspaper. But, it's filled with kind of garbage and ads these days.

[Marshymallow]

Lol nope! Is that even still a thing?

[exitseven]

It is , they send me junk mail all the time.

[Cherry234]

I don't think so. I don't really pay attention to my mail unless something is addressed to me.

[JakeS00]

We did a few times before all biased or fabricated stories started becoming the newspaper.

[SandandWaves]

me too, now.. just got the Sunday paper

[LilyByte]

used to but that ended years ago

[lightbulb27]

not anymore

[Wise4myage]

Yes, but just twice a week now.

[In_Trance]

nope, I didn't realize this was a thing

[888theGreat]

What newspapers? Do they still produce them?

[msc545]

No - no reason to.

[lickysplit]

Just on sundays

[douride2]

No newspaper here.

[pink-jilly]

Not anymore
