On weekdays it's the <i>Sun-Times</i> -- because I buy it to read on the train. I have the <i>Tribune</i> delivered and I read that on weekends (and, in theory, every other day, too, although my Youngest Son noticed that we have at least a week's worth piled up in the front hall). I read different things first in different papers. I hit the op-ed and the comics in the <i>Trib</i> first. In the <i>S-T</i> it would be Sneed, when she's writing, or maybe the sports or maybe the other columns. Except on Fridays. Then I read every movie review Roger Ebert writes before looking at <i>anything</i> else.<br /><br />I read much of my news on line these days -- and a lot of my comics, too. By the time it appears in print, I've probably read it.<br /><br />You shouldn't dis comments, Dave. My late father told me that reading the comics was the mark of an educated man. I believed him, of course.<br /><br />I don't read the Sunday paper as much as I used to. Comics, certainly -- but, sometimes, on Sundays, I've had it with the news and we take a break from each other. (But even then, Thomas, I probably read "the crappy Parade magazine" -- at least the celeb Q&A at the front. Hey, we all have our guilty pleasures....)The Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14723009641287783218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-79063693817717927912010-03-30T16:43:38.579-04:002010-03-30T16:43:38.579-04:00I remember you writing about that Pos.

I bought one about three years ago, but only because it had an aerial photo of a mob scene I was in on the front page (a rally for the Phillies after they (finally) made the playoffs -- the year before they won the series).Posol'stvo the Medvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573435137467134333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-29233467989658136632010-03-29T20:18:33.864-04:002010-03-29T20:18:33.864-04:00First, thanks for stopping by Too.

If I start an article and find it terribly interesting, I'll flip to the back of the paper to finish it. Otherwise, I'll just finish it when I get to that page. Front page and national news is next. Comics are last.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09734182899983557160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-28325359662072380122010-03-28T20:03:03.932-04:002010-03-28T20:03:03.932-04:00When I read a paper paper, I would typically scan ...When I read a paper paper, I would typically scan each headline, pick the (maybe) three articles in the entire paper that interested me and read each one start to finish -- flipping to the conclusion of the article when I was ready. I would start with the comics, and I would then go to the sports and/or entertainment sections before being lured to the from page.<br /><br />I guess you can see there's a reason I never felt that a paper was worth the cost of the subscription.Posol'stvo the Medvedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573435137467134333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-81291092730693608332010-03-27T22:50:14.121-04:002010-03-27T22:50:14.121-04:00We get a paper every day.

If I start an article that continues on another page (and all of them do in our paper) I find the continuation and read to the end before starting another article. The comics are the last thing I read (always save the best for last) and we have to hunt for them. They are buried in the want ad section. I find this very weird and have complained about it to no avail. I know a lot of people read online but there is something about sitting down with a cup of coffee and the newspaper in the morning that just seems right. Guess I'm old fashion.Sonja's Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696694912040093876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34867261.post-13543373482066985192010-03-27T21:48:29.749-04:002010-03-27T21:48:29.749-04:00The only paper I get anymore is a Sunday paper, an...The only paper I get anymore is a Sunday paper, and I read it pretty much the way you do: front to back, section to section, with the comics dead last and throw away the crappy Parade magazine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
