When Was The Last Time You Bought a Newspaper? or a Magazine?

[Yavin4]

I cannot remember. I read everything online now. Haven't bought a NY Times in months, maybe even a year, maybe more. I don't have any idea how much it costs at the newsstands.

Can't even remember the last time I bought one of those.

[Phentex]

1. I order magazines from the school...

for the rip off fundraiser but it's my last year of that!

I take them to the office and they get used in the lobby so it's not all wasteful.

I used to love reading magazines but now I don't have as much time and I can always find something to read online.

My husband likes getting Popular Science and Discovery at home. My kids like the sports magazines.

[Silver Swan]

2. Today

Well, actually I subscribe to a newspaper that is delivered to my door every morning.

I also subscribe to over a dozen magazines.

I do read news from other newspapers on line, but magazine sites are generally too annoying to deal with.

[Inchworm]

3. 11 years

I read 2-3 a day before I moved back to the mountains. The local paper here prints like 2x a week and is basically an ad paper :D

:hi:

[bif]

4. Get the daily paper and several mags

Although the "daily" paper only comes three days a week now.

[1gobluedem]

5. I subscribe to two newspapers and one magazine

Can't curl up with a laptop or handheld the way you can with the real thing. I'll never give them up.

[kentauros]

6. I haven't purposely bought a newspaper in decades.

Ever since seeing the decline in how the news was presented, and especially dumbed-down, I stopped subscribing.

However, I do get two magazines subscribed to me (annual Christmas gifts from family):
Consumer Reports
Bottom Line Personal

Years ago I used to subscribe to The Nation, The Texas Observer and Cooks' Illustrated, but dropped them during hard times. I don't really miss them now.

The only magazine I do miss is Gnosis, but they went out of business in the 1990s :(

7. Monday.

bought a newspaper and a magazine.

[Brickbat]

8. I buy the Sunday NYT every week, and several magazines. I love reading magazines. Also, Mr. Brickbat

needs hard-copy reading material because he doesn't work in an office.

[yankeepants]

9. I have the Sunday paper delivered

Sometimes I don't even read it but other times there is nothing like coffee, the paper, two dogs and two cats in bed with me on a Sunday morning.

I also have this obligation to support the printed word. I would hate to lose our local paper.

[Mike 03]

10. Probably three or four months ago I purchased Yoga Magazine.

But I used to subscribe to Barrons, and my parents get the NYT.

[HopeHoops]

11. The daily paper shows up at the end of our driveway every morning.

As far as magazines go, I think my wife's subscription to Black Belt is the only one that's active right now.

[bigwillq]

12. I subscribe to one daily local newspaper.

Buy a few others a few times a week.
I subscribe to one weekly magazine.
Buy a few others a few times a month.

[LynneSin]

13. I rarely by newspapers but I do still get a few magazine subscriptions

I get:

National Geographic
Rolling STone
Budget Traveller
Vanity Fair
MS

[LiberalEsto]

14. We subscribe to the Washington Post

and most days, my husband picks up the NY Times
We get a free local paper once a week
Sometimes we also get the NY Daily News

I can't imagine starting a day without reading a daily newspaper. I'm a former newspaper journalist and I'm addicted to newspapers. When we travel, we always get the local newspaper.

However I do not watch TV at all, unless there is something major going on like the protests in Egypt.

[Old Troop]

15. I buy a newspaper (usually the Washington Post) every day.

I still like the feel of a paper when I'm having a cup of coffee or eating.

[WinkyDink]

16. Subscribe to 2 papers and The Nation, New Republic, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Conde Nast Travel, VF, &

NY Review of Books.

[Curmudgeoness]

17. I get the local paper daily. Touching paper is comfortable for me.

We are in a news dead zone here. I am right on the border of PA and OH. I live in PA and the "local" news on radio and TV is in OH. Needless to say, unless there is a huge multiple murder on this side of the border, you will not hear about it. And there is no local and state news available from them.

So the local paper is necessary to keep up with what is happening in my community and area.

I get no magazines anymore.

[annabanana]

18. Our local Daily . NYT's "Weekender" - Mother Jones, - The Nation

The Smithsonian. . Funny Times

I think that's it.

[Moondog]

19. I get two daily papers, a couple of magazines, and some Bar journals.

Of that, only one (a photography magazine) is "fun". I've thought about letting the newspaper subscriptions run out, but thus far I have relented because I enjoy the crossword puzzles.

[tigereye]

20. I still get the local paper delivered and the Sunday NYT

I like reading a paper, in my hands. We also get Natl Geographic and The New Yorker. I read things online, too, but I like the tangibility of a print paper, mag, book.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

21. We subscribe to the local paper

Sunday edition only and to Texas Monthly

[lukasahero]

22. I get the local newspaper daily

and we subscribe to 3 magazines.

Please note, we are both tech-heads so we get most of our news online but a) want to support the local economy and b) still feel there are certain publications worth taking time with...

[Bake]

23. I still have a perfectly good magazine ...

But the pages are kinda stuck together ...

:rofl:

Bake

[pitohui]

24. i stopped after hurricane katrina, so aug 2005

i was already cutting down w. my subscriptions but after this major disruption i just figured, that's it, i can't be chasing down this small stuff (lost subscriptions, issues, etc.) after a disaster, i'll just get caught up at library/internet

sad because i was in the business myself but it was already dying, i'm not the one who killed it

[femmocrat]

25. We subscribe to the local fish-wrapper and I buy a Sunday paper.

I think the last magazine I bought was a dog magazine. It's been over a year at least.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. I suppose, in a sense, this morning. I love online, but I love more actual paper.

I still read the local newspaper and Wall Street Journal on paper, and read a few magazines.

[Oceansaway]

27. subscribe to daily paper,The Nation &

Rolling Stone.....

[CBHagman]

28. I subscribe to a newspaper.

I don't buy as many magazines as I used to but every so often I get one. I have a great many around the house to read, and generally carry one with me during my commute.

[Iggo]

29. Newspaper? 15 years ago?

Magazine? Last weekend.

[Mojambo]

30. I work at a retail newsstand

Our sales are down to an almost unbelievable degree.

I mean, we're talking over a 50% drop from 3 or 4 years ago.

I suspect it's only a matter of time before the place folds up.

[Rob H.]

31. I haven't bought a newspaper since I stopped working for one

11 years ago. That particular employment experience was so god-awful I started getting the bulk of my news online, instead. (It was a Gannett paper, fwiw.)

ETA: I'm down to one subscription to a quarterly magazine. The last time I actually bought one was probably at least three months ago.

[nolabear]

32. I get Sunday NYT, New Yorker, Oxford American and Poets and Writers.

And I love them all. I love good writing and the world of writing.

[trackfan]

33. Earlier this week; but, swear to God, my wife needed it to line a bird cage!

It was the LA Times. I used to subscribe, but it is pretty worthless now. Our little neighborhood free ad sheet is actually a better newspaper than the LA Times, formerly one of the world's great newspapers.

[seabeyond]

34. we get times, smithsoniam, nation geographic sent to house. leave on dining room table for kids

to read.

they read them regularly. it is a good thing for them.

[nuxvomica]

35. I get the local paper and NatGeo, Harper's and Wired

I usually read them in the bathroom. :)

[hobbit709]

36. I quit reading the local fishwrap when I quit delivering it in 1997.

[blueamy66]

37. Get the paper everyday

and some magazines....which were free subscriptions

My guy HAS to have the Sports page.

[mopinko]

38. i canceled the chgo trib the second time they endorsed

pResident *. hubby buys the sun times for the sports scores/something to read on the train sometimes.
i haven't bought a magazine in forever.

[suninvited]

39. I buy newspapers on Sunday

because of the coupons. I will read some of the paper since I have it, but other than that I do all my news reading online.
