I was just looking at a chart for daily newspaper figures. They have dropped dramatically over the last few years. I used to buy three a day many years ago but I only buy the i paper about once a week purely for the crossword. If this trend continues there'll be hardly any papers left in ten years time. |  | | |  |

I used to buy the Sun and the EADT in the morning and the Evening Star in the Evening :).
Mainly for the football news. The footy news is a day late in the papers with the advent of t'internet so now I don't ever buy a paper. Only time I do is at work if I am going to lunch and want something to read. |  | | |

It's a dying industry, has been for some time, which is why large mainstream press now charge a subscription base.
I wonder how much Archant will charge in years to come to read their quality journalism. |  |

Does a digital subscription on iPad count?
My Mrs still buys a paper as she prefers the feel. Same with books. |  |

I buy the observer, because I read the guardian website all the time, so I don't mind paying something out to them. And, more importantly, we need some paper to line the rabbit hutch and the observer fits perfectly. |  | | |

Its not the same is it. It's like the kindle/ book thing. I know a few people who have a kindle but much prefer the feel of a book. It's the same with newspapers for me. | | | |

You know you can do the crosswords online. No need to buy it for that. |  |

I buy The Times 6 days a week. Much prefer reading it to doing so on-line. Can't be a-sed with Sunday papers though. There is far too much wasted paper in them. | | | |

Newspaper will die out.
Books and specialist magazines won't. |  |

We still have a newspaper delivered. Living in a small village with no shop I would have to get the car out to go and buy one.
I do like the feel of a newspaper and doing the crosswords. I also spend far too long watching a computer screen so it gives me a break from that. [Post edited 26 Jul 2017 12:07]

Which is why it's vital people pay to read news online. They will miss it when it's not there — albeit in ways they might not comprehend. | |

I presume you realise The Evening Star is now just a daily paper and available in the morning (Ipswich Star). It is just more Ipswich than EADT Suffolk and a bit more trashy.
I only ever read a paper if I'm on a the train. |  |
