Do you read a daily printed newspaper?

With all of the electronic gadgets taking over our lives, do you (still) read a printed newspaper every day?

My dh and I feel like we would lose so much of a story if we were to only read it online. We get our local paper and the "big city" paper delivered daily. My dh usually buys a USA TODAY everyday, as well.

My son loves reading the newspaper each morning.

Do you feel like you would miss it if it were to go away?

Why or why not?

I try to read our daily paper everyday-if dh remembers to bring one home, otherwise I'll read what I can online. I also will read our two weekly papers-can't read them online without paying for an online subscription.

I would be lost without my paper in the morning!

I like the Wednesday paper for the recipes and the Friday paper for the flyers and Saturday and Sunday... well you get the gist of it! The only downfall is the dirty hands, but hey, that is what napkins are for right?

I only buy the sunday paper and we get 2 free local ones delivered each week and yes I read those.
I do go online and read the state paper on occasion

YES! I read the local paper daily. I was very disappointed on Saturday when I read in the paper that we will no longer have a Saturday newspaper. They are "cutting costs."

While I am glad that newspapers are available online, nothing can replace sitting down with a REAL newspaper. I feel the same way about books.

I read the daily newspaper and do the crossword puzzel. I especially like the Sunday paper.

I like reading the newspaper on-line because its handier,more convient and I don't get that black ink all over my hands. Now that I have internet on my Blackberry its even that much more convient.

I also like the Sunday paper and do the puzzle.
HMMM! guess the ink ours uses must be different as it does not come off on me.

Every morning over coffee I read the newspaper. Every Thursday I buy our Town paper to see what's going on around our area.
