Now days, I get my news on the computer or TV. Our local paper (that I get by mail)comes out once a week. It has no national or state news but lots of local and human interest stories. I fear the same thing has happened to magazines. I use to be a magazine junkie but now only get one--6 times a year. Times are a changing.

A friend gets all her news on-line, but I prefer paper.<br />Funny thing - I just had this conversation yesterday. We're currently in Venice, FL and the Venice Tribune is terrific - real news and everything. I attribute its strength to the older population here - a group that still appreciates (and I guess demands) a good paper.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366449267039641100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-29066619775751986002016-05-31T05:29:38.395-07:002016-05-31T05:29:38.395-07:00We gave up the newspaper delivery for online.

I occasionally pick up a Sunday paper and occasionally watch the news on TV. Honestly, there are periods when I just no longer want to know for my own mental health. My parents would be ashamed of me because they did not raise me to not know what goes on in the world.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-91368470082760911872016-05-31T03:12:48.157-07:002016-05-31T03:12:48.157-07:00Our local paper added an online version some time ...Our local paper added an online version some time ago. We subscribe to the online version, which comes with the hard copy of the sunday paper. <br /><br />When we are away in the winter, it's nice to keep up with the local happenings with our online subscription. <br /><br />For those who prefer the hard copy only, it is only available 4 days a week. My mom, who has never owned a computer (no interest whatsoever) was disappointed with this change. I'm guessing that as the population ages, the norm will be to get your news online exclusively.Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237805282007404140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-64224595732820595672016-05-30T23:49:01.700-07:002016-05-30T23:49:01.700-07:00Summer has gifted us with the Dallas Times Herald ...Summer has gifted us with the Dallas Times Herald Sunday edition!

I look through it every day, read some editorials if I have not already read them on line from The New York Times, and I read a few articles in full. Since we listen to the news talk radio, we hear a lot of the same news that is in the paper. We also watch local and national news on TV and geto other news from links on Facebook. I guess you could say we are "newsy".<br />Oh, and I do work two word puzzles in the paper every day, during my lunch hour.
