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.
Interesting answers , not just which newspaper but why and why not .
I don't usually buy a Sunday paper as they are too big and heavy and tend to write far too much about the lives of celebrities, which are of no interest to me.
I read the Sun because the bloke next door reads it himself, then lends it to me and I put it back through his letter box so that his wife can read it, so in effect I get a free read. However, I leave quite a lot of it out and only read the bits I find interesting - for instance I did not read the huge amount of pages dedicated to whatsername who died of an overdose. There are also a hell of a lot of adverts and sports pages, so not really much news. If I had to pay I would not bother.
I buy Sat and Mon Telegraph as they have linked crosswords but I read whatever are available when I have my pub lunch. I find the ' i ' a very useful source of news it's short and concise. I may read more Telegraphs as their current offer works out at half price for advance payment.
^^ what Buenchico said - there is a good crossword in the i, and I get all the news I need from it. 20p a day, good value. I buy our local weekly papers too, to find out what's not going on locally.
It would appear your newspaper choice is some indication of beliefs.
I notice those who read widely write the longest posts and the reverse is true. Price and convenience seems in part to over-ride choice . There appears quite a difference between reading and actually buying a particular paper. We buy for a reason such as crosswords and reject some papers outright which indicates a strong belief .
