What papers do you read?

[modeller]

I read the other day that which newspaper a person's reads is a good guide to their beliefs. Is that true ? Gromit claims to read the Telegraph but I would think the Morning Star was more likely. Sorry Gromit if that's wrong but that's the impression I get.

[scotman]

Scotsman on Saturday
Telegraph on Thursdays
i on Friday

Other stuff every now and then.

[gingejbee]

None, also. Why would you want to?

[Twirls]

Express Monday to Friday, Times on Saturday (for the crossword), none on Sunday

[sara3]

none!

[Buenchico]

I don't read any newspaper regularly but I quite often buy 'i', simply because (at 20p) it's the cheapest 'readable' newspaper. Otherwise my choice would be either The Times or The Independent.

[ChocolatChip]

The Daily Mail, but online because it's a nice easy layout online. I wouldn't actually buy a paper!

[milly143]

The Sun most days and no I'm not ashamed.

Also have a look on the Daily Mail website through the day if I'm bored at work. But my affectionate name for it is the Daily Hate Mail.

The Metro, as my colleague picks up a load from the station on her way to work. Other than that I don't buy papers.

[Gromit]

I have stopped buying a Daily newspaper but I look at a selection on-line. I check the Telegraph or BBC News first. Then I usually glance at the Mail. Though i do not agree with most of it, the Mail have a very good website. I have the Guardian and Independent bookmarked, but do not read them that avidly.

On TV I will watch Channel 4 News, Newsnight, BBC News24 and occassionally Al Jazeera. I never watch SkyNews or see Tabloids. I have never seen the Morning Star let along read it. i don't think I woyld like it. I am a bit of a newsphile, and I like it when I research a current story and find out stuff I didn't know.

Beano ! Does it have crosswords ?

[JonnyBoy12]

I would imagine most of us on here read the Daily and Sunday Sport.

Am I right here or not?

[ummmm]

If I do buy a paper, which isn't often anymore, it would get The Express...and The Sunday Times..

"I read the other day that which newspaper a person's reads is a good guide to their beliefs. Is that true ?"

It can be so long as you don't take it too far. And there's always exceptions - my old Politics teacher used to read the Sun purely for entertainment (and other papers for actual information)

I don't read daily papers due to my fairly contemptuous attitude toward the British press and my belief that it's an outdated news format which is badly equipped for what news coverage needs to work nowadays. Currently I don't read any current affairs stuff at all purely because I'm too busy with other things. But when I do read them, I tend to buy The Week for an overview of what the press has been saying and also the Economist for quite simply some of the best-quality current affairs coverage available in the English-speaking world.*

(re: political beliefs - work that one out!)

*someone will inevitably be along to point out some of its drawbacks and flaws. To pre-empt this, I didn't say I buy it because it's perfect.

The Sun, also read the news on Sky news

[sherrardk]

I rarely buy a paper but bought the Telegraph today (like the cryptic crossword and the sudoku).

[tommy-h]

I get the scottish evening times delivered.Surprisingly good read and clever crosswords especially on saturday,the setter seems to like the grown up Times grids.

Johny Interesting comment . I was at the newsagent when a couple of builders were complaining that the sport was not on the front page and couldn't see the point of all the other news.
