FAQs about What do you miss about getting a newspaper everyday (pre Coupon?

Do you pick up a newspaper every day?

Picking up a newspaper every day felt strange. Needless to say, stepping back in time has had its ups and downs. For context, I come from a family of big readers and news obsessives. My Dad still listens to daily radio news, watches the main TV news bulletins and reads at least one newspaper a day cover-to-cover. ...

What if you haven't read a newspaper by the end of the day?

If you haven’t read it by the end of the day, you probably won’t. I was wary of building a wall of unread papers like my Dad so I now chuck them at the end of every day even if I haven’t finished.

You could probably knock it all out in an afternoon. Then on to the next fifty. Good point. There’s a great youtube channel that does this, called Retro Report. ...

Is Nyt a good newspaper?

They do great work but they can’t avoid covering (and therefore contributing to) the overblown circus that is the US election. Still, the quality of NYT reporting is several orders of magnitude better than mainstream TV news. I do read their stuff on a regular basis but I filter by topic. ...

Is a physical newspaper a good idea?

By determining when I read my news and not letting events distract me throughout the day, I feel less stressed and actually better informed. Overall, I’m pleased to be back with a physical paper. Printed newspapers are not going to be around for ever and neither am I. We both seem like anachronisms from a bygone age. ...
