    who here still gets a newspaper delivered?

    do you still subscribe for home delivery of a daily newspaper?

    i had two newspaper routes as a kid and i'd say 80% of homes got a newspaper delivered. wonder what the % is today.
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

    We don't have delivery of anything to our homes parcel wise (no USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc) but there are boxes outside the gate. One set is used for mail and the other for ATL paper delivery. We must be the easiest route for both ;) Our local paper is once a week and it comes through the mail.

    Before I moved up here I'd always had paper delivery but usually just Sunday.

    Here you can buy 2 editions of the Atlanta Sunday paper - first one is available Saturday night. On Sunday you can buy the 2nd edition and they also have the two together you can buy for a cheaper price than just one. Not sure why you'd want them both.....

          I delivered 2 papers a day when I was a kid, too.

          10 years ago I had 3 papers a day delivered - 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening.

          Now I get my news online.

              Newspapers are a tremendous waste of resources. They are an archaic medium that should be done away with completely. I think in my lifetime we'll probably see that happen in a lot of areas.

                  Besides the shitty free ones, no. The Ottawa Citizen is desperate for subscribers. They'll give you free newspapers for a few weekends, then send a bill. I'm sure they fool some people thinking they have to pay.

                          I had my first route at 10 and soon after had a morning and evening route in my neighborhood. You'd have to go out and collect and even at that young age there were always some deadbeats dodging me for the few dollars a week their paper cost them. They were always the ones to complain if their paper was even a few minutes late.

                          I get the paper on Sunday only now and have no clue who delivers it.

                          Spend you some brain.

                              believe me - without free porn, just as many people will seek porn out on the Internet, and many more will pay if there is no free alternative, its not like sex is a fad - it can be milked much like any renewable resource - long term

                                I was until last month and then I cancelled my subscription early and am awaiting my refund check. They fired some of the writers and starting pushing views instead of reporting news and that is what lost me.

                                Sort of sucks as I liked having the local news and very much liked the coupons.

                                    Shit they already use an absurd amount of recycled paper as the medium damn inks are now made of soy typically. Then let us face the real truth about paper. Using paper is good for the environment, period. Select logging, planting tree's, and all of that ends up keeping forests safer from wild fires and produces more tree's. Feel free to go look up actual stats and facts.

                                    As for an archaic medium, why?
                                    It is not as if the entire world let alone the entire country is wired for the internet today. Nor is the current internet all that dial up friendly anymore so the poor rural folks often get even more screwed when they try to get online. Typically most online news also is not local news unless your at your local newspapers website. Then besides the issue that many just like the look, feel, and smell of a paper. They also like its format and its ability to be taken wherever. You never have to turn off a paper during a flight, get it inspected by an electrician when your having a hospital stay, have its batteries die, nor have such a useful multi-tasker in the house. Readable, smashes bugs, can spank the dog, can bonk the kid, line the cages of pets, used as compost, or even used to train a new pet.

                                        I get the San Diego Union Tribune delivered to my house daily. I just like reading the paper with a cup of coffee in the morning. I don't read it for the breaking news, but I like the feature articles and of course the comics.

                                                We get our local one that comes out every week. Most of the info it is decent. Good for classifieds to keep up on some real estate stuff

                                                  I get it daily. Usually read it in the evenings.

                                                  I notice a lot of articles and human interest pieces in the print version that they don't include online.

                                                    I don't know how I would take a dump without reading the newspaper.

                                                      I used to deliver papers too when I was younger!

                                                      My brother works in upper management at a rather large newspaper in the NYC area - in fact, he's in charge of all of the advertising. He tells me that their sales have dropped drastically in the past three years.

                                                          are there paper boy/girls still? doubt it - kids today are too smart and too lazy to do a paper route for slave wages.

                                                                            I think I tried to cancel and they offered it for a $1 a year or something crazy like that, I forget. I guess they just want to keep their circulation up to keep the ad prices stable. I do sometimes read the sports pages during baseball season.

                                                                            As for the comment about newspapers being archaic, I agree but the reporting of the newspapers is not. All the deep news stories you hear about on websites, or we talk about on this board, were researched by a newspaper news desk. ONLY newspapers have the time to research a 6 month story and come out with a full report. TV and internet news companies have virtually zero reporting capabilities other than anchors and so-called "experts".

                                                                            Newspapers play a very important role in our democracy and I think some people don't realize that. Channels like CNN and MSNBC and FOX just recycle AP news. They don't investigate anything like newspaper staffs do.
