Don't read the papers, they're full of sensational claptrap- only watch the news on TV- gives me what i want to know then look up the things on BBC website.

Read local newspapers though

I read The Guardian daily and The Observer on Sunday's. Unless you are unfortunate enough to experience it at first hand, all news is mediated whether it is on paper, screen, or radio, etc; and, as such, should be treated with caution.

snap again -I didn`t get round to reading it too!!!
Did you see my thread about Ovarian ca -my nurse colleague was in the Daily Mail on Tuesday telling her story . You can see it online under health

I'll pay more a attention to it tomorrow now you have mentioned it Ros.

We used to get the Sunday Post too, but found sometimes we didn't get round to reading both
so cut it down to one paper.

Thanks for all your replies and I think it is healthy for us all that we can get our news from other sources apart from the Daily's - who all follow a particular idealogy!


However, I confess that I do buy the Sunday Times as I like the Culture magazine for film and book reviews!

I would love to be able to see Ann's letters tho Lol

Kaz

The local paper Portsmouth and Havant evening news

eastern daily press

We have the Mail on Saturday for the free week ahead TV guide which we dont buy but Sis does. We have a freeby weekly The Observer posted on a Friday and we may occasionally get the (Bristol) Evening Post on a Wednesday - just to keep up with jobs.

As most print what they like and not always the truth prefer not to waste my money on them.

the picture on the page is a man !!

I don't buy one now. I refuse to let any of my income help keep them going:)

Scottish Daily Record and Sunday Mail.
Plus my local.

Marion

I get the local rag. Got fed up years ago with even the broadsheets basically advertising prostitution services in the back pages!!

maggie

I get the South Wales Echo every day - love it for local news and the letters page - I have another letter printed in today's issue!!! Love getting my letters printed and have had about twenty printed so far this year.

Love the Mail on Saturday and Sunday - enjoy the puzzles - am cutting down on the Mail in the week cos I find they are too heavy to get to the gate for recycling day!

Mail or express, sometimes telegraph

My o.h. likes th Telegraph,so we get that,partly because they have a very good sports page.
They do have interesting articles and I like the Sudoku and crosswords.
Used to get the Mail,and must be honest the broadsheet isn't as easy to read(it makes my arms ache),but he likes it!
Our paper recycling bag gets very heavy!!!

I catch up on BBC News online Mon - Fri over coffee as I wake up. I read the Metro on the way to work. Sundays I have the Mail delivered and like to get up early and have the house to myself with a pot of coffee and skim read it before I log on and then in the afternoon curl up in my armchair and catch up on all the other bits.
