Ask HN: Do you read newspaper/newspapers everyday?

Here's a good lambasting of the prevalent style of newspaper writing:

Also, for the record, you can subscribe to a daily Calvin & Hobbes strip by RSS through GoComics. The feed URL is:

However if I am ever staying at a place that has the newspaper delivered or available I will pick it up and read most of the front page articles (from each section) and flip through the rest for interesting things.

The newspaper really is a different experience from other ways of getting the information many times you can read articles and editorials with a good amount of thought put into them (depending on the quality of the paper) and in general is a nice form of entertainment for an hour or so.

I like it. It lets me keep up to date with what the politicians in the area are doing (plus my Senators/Representative to Congress) in slightly more detail than a paragraph buried in a CNN article. Plus the sports section is entertaining (during baseball and football seasons, at least)

However, I make a point of monitoring a number of sources, to avoid the echo chamber effect. Many of these sources, like news.google.com, drudge report etc, are essentially news aggregators. Others are typically social networks like LiveJournal where I can sometimes find eyewitnesses. I still look at newspapers (online versions), mostly when someone points to an interesting article.
