Newspapers

What papers/journals/mags does one ATDer peruse?

Moi, Grauniad/Private Eye with a smattering of the Independent.

Private Eye since Noah was a nipper, The Indy is no longer Indy but I used to, any old shite handy really.

I only buy hard copy occasionally now of the Guardian or Observer. Otherwise it's all done on-line.

The Independent, Private Eye and online, the Huffington Post.

When I buy a paper The Western Morning News

Schnews - activist paper out of B.Right.On


I dont read the papers, the are all too biased, i'll make my own mind up thanks.

if i did, it would be something like WMN as it never has anything in depth, so never depressing

Gibraltar Chronicle (on line version).

Anything else that happens to be lying around.

Not bought an actual paper for years.

It's funny how I've changed as I've got older. I always found the Observer gave me enough material to study all week and I was quite boring in telling all around me how well they reflected my views. Now I find it very narrow in it's views and I object to being preached to. I now get the Telegraph on either Sat or Sunday and am happy to either agree or not with it's op/ed views whilst picking out what I want from the multitudinous supps.

Don't do any Snoozepapers.

Mags I regularly read are

fRoots - been a subscriber since the late 90's.

Songlines - been subscribing for about 4 years now.

and I also pick up the 'Classic Rock' mag when I see it on the lower shelves tucked in behind some non descript mag, & there's something of interest within it's glossy pages, which is most issues really, especially when there is a great artists latest opus stuck to the front, recent issues have had new albums by, Slash, Chickenfoot, Alice Cooper, Whitesnake, Joe Bonamassa, & Motorhead

I once spent a week sitting at a desk next to the team making Classic Rock Presents... Prog! special edition of the mag. Mostly with my headphones in

In answer to the OP, just Private Eye. Grauniad Online is my online newsie place of choice.

Out of some sort of mis-guided loyalty, I get the Herald delivered. Excellent for letting me what happened 48hrs ago.

I was actually trying to think of a good reason to buy it, and all I can come up with at the moment is there's a BOGOF voucher for KFC in it.

The Times has a great depth to its content, and excellent sport coverage too.

My wife bought me the Guardian yesterday by mistake, yea right. Some good stuff to be found, I won't be so scathing about Kerry Katona in future. There's a heap of pretentious waffle to found as well though.

I used to buy the Independent every Saturday, and often the Observer on Sunday too, but realised this was as much for the crosswords and other puzzles as for anything else.

Nowadays, if I buy a paper at all it's the 20p i, which is very good.
