Whether on a local level or a state/national level, do you still buy and read a print version of a newspaper? Do you read it online? Or do you get your sources elsewhere? Curious what this large demographic of users on this forum does regarding its media consumption.

I like the tabloid newspaper format and hate the large page newspaper format, never could quite get the knack of opening and folding all that paper into a compact readable paper, however those days are over as i now get all my news info from online sources or the tv.

I am reading both the morning paper and the evening paper in printed form but I do check the local rag online for updates, specially if I have seen or heard anything and want to know what is happening.

We still get the local paper once a week, on Sundays.

I like having some form of reading material that I can still hold in my hand, plus I like the idea of supporting my local publication.

The Sunday paper will actually last me the whole week.

I'll get daily news, etc Online, on the Radio and on TV when necessary.

Not in years. I spent two decades in radio and we always considered the newspaper as "Yesterday's news....today!" Which it really still is basically.

My news comes from a quick three minute update on the local major market AM station while other news comes from nosy neighbors and relatives on Facebook.

I attempt to read the free papers here, the ones in Spanish. I also read the Washington Post and NYTimes online and I listen to podcasts for the Economist. I don't watch the news on television. I have FB news pages for places of interest to me.
