Times

Dagbladet, VG, Sunnmørsposten, Nytt i Uka and Dagens Næringsliv.

Any questions? :p
 
Given that you're a Brit, I take it that's the London Times, and not the NY or Washington Times? :)
 
What is this "newspaper" you speak of? You mean they still PRINT the news on PAPER???

My favorite paper is Zig Zag.*

Having spent many years working for and with them, I can confirm that newspapers are about 10% truth, 60% spin, and 30% complete lies. Therefore I no longer read them.

I occasionally check out the Bad Science column on Guardian Online, and read about some current events on the BBC news site. I don't watch any TV so my news intake is pretty limited. And that's how I like it.
 
I get my reading news strictly from the Internet. So, pretty much whoever yahoo or google news points to...plus blogs.

YEP! (It's part of how the software stops Internet "shouting" -bit of a bummer but that's what we got.)

And I do hope you have the JREF forum on your RSS feeds?
 
I read la Jornada so i guess is not one of those ;(

I was looking for Planet X option.... ;(
 
When I was an undergrad and had access to free newspapers, I'd read the New York Times everyday during lunch. It made me feel cultured and connected.

Now I get my news either from links on the Internet or from CNN.com on my cell phone, with whatever stories I may have missed popping up on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. (Like this gem: Did you realize that, according to one Senator, the Internet is a series of tubes?) I still like newspapers, but I only take the time to read them if I'm travelling and want some stimulation on the train, plane, or bus.
