My husband and I both spend so much time online that they just starting stacking up in the corner until we threw them all out. I'm not much of a coupon clipper, so that didn't benefit me much either. I think newspapers today are having a tough time...I think the majority of people don't read them much anymore, because there are a lot of high-tech ways to get news that you're interested in; even subscribing to news alerts on google for news subjects delivers them right into your email inbox. The internet has done some strange things, though. Like...not a lot of people are going to the old-fashioned library and reading old-fashioned books there. I order my books, because I don't like the library's selection...but the information age is transforming the way we get information, that is for sure!

It has some good local coverage, and the coupon inserts easily pay for it. So, it is free, and worth every penny. Otherwise, my news comes from blogs, satellite TV, and a few trustworthy web sites.

I do check the local newspaper online, but its turning more into a blog in its own right rather than a "paper". Plus, I can't see paying the price. It's like stamps -- why bother mailing something you can email? I’m the same way. I do check the local newspaper online, but its turning more into a blog in its own right rather than a “paper”.
