Once upon a time, newspapers dominated the information we were fed, and I guess most of us believed the "news" to a certain degree...

Just wondered, who still takes in a paper? I stopped about 5 years ago and have favoured websites instead, although Mrs Britbox still gets one at the weekend with all the supplements and stuff (Courier Mail, Queensland, OZ paper).

I subscribe online to a number of newspapers, read a lot of others online too, as well as keeping up to date with a large number of blogs and vlogs

I get the NYTimes "weekender" (Fri/Sat/Sun) which has a lot of things I like to get as "real" newspapers, which gives me NYTimes online, and to my local, "The Villager" (weekly local news for the NYC Village area). And I like to buy the Financial Times weekend edition sometimes.

I used to get the newspapers with the front pages that grabbed my attention but now I just get local newspapers.

I will buy a Chicago Tribune for a special occasion, like when the Cubs won WS. It had been more than 100 years. :whistle:

Channel 9 in Oz has just taken over Fairfax Media and it's likely a lot of provincial papers may get closed down.
