Do you buy a regular newspaper or do you get your news from the tv, radio or internet? 

I havent bought a newspaper in years. Get my news from TV and internet. Even the local rag comes through the letterbox and out the rear door, into the bin!

It is only recently that I have realised that I have broken with tradition; my father always bought a daily newspaper and evening newspaper. 

When I grew up and left home, I bought a morning newspaper to read on the journey to work, seldom bought an evening paper but ALWAYS bought a Sunday newspaper.  Now, I rarely buy a newspaper.

I read the news on the internet and listen to the news on the radio and television. 

Same with magazines.  I can't remember the last time I bought a magazine mainly because I got fed up with buying a relatively expensive, glossy mag only to find it full of adverts

Perhaps it depends on our interests, in what we like to read about. Decades ago, when our lives were more stable an work was plentiful, problems were few and people was a lot happier. Buying a newspaper was, as we say today, 'The In Thing'- as the same as smoking etc:  Now, styles change, as do the feelings of people, after all, who just wants to look at adverts as mags: and papers rather overdo them.
But whatever is our pleasure, it is there to enjoy.

just recently..we only had a `mirror`...then I bought
a `mail` for Irene...now I find that Irene `scans`
the `mirror`...and I find a lot of the stories in the `mail`... fasinating !

I personally, am not interested in the news, but Eve likes to watch it on TV. We always but the 'mail' on tuesday as the health article is interesting. There can be some good stories sometimes, also the express, is quite similar.
Tuesdays Mail, had a very good article about "Wholemeal Bread" and Gluten problems, the signs of which Eve has, as may other people.  The Express, had a very good article about Germany and the depression and a lesson for the possible future.
