Real print papers and magazines

I love the feel of a real paper or magazine
I know it’s all online but love the real thing

AIBU to waste money on papers and mags?

If you buy print what do you buy? Anything you don’t think is worth buying?

YANBU!! I definitely prefer print to online magazines and newspapers :) I get the Saturday and Sunday Times, mainly because I really like the supplement magazines and sections - I never finish reading them though, so still have a huge backlog to read.

Love the Times But DP always wants the telegraph 🙄

I like facts and he likes right leaning facts 😂

YANBU I buy a newspaper sometimes so my kid sees me reading something instead of staring at a screen. Doing so has reminded me that I value the 'curated' nature of a paper - I end up reading about things I otherwise probably wouldn't if I was just scanning headlines on a website. Also, I can tear things out that I want to come back to etc.

I still like real magazines despite half the articles turning up eventually on the fb page.

I still prefer a real book too.

Yeah fuck the kindle
Bring back decent library opening times
& praise the lord for amazon prime 😃

I love print too - what else works in the bath?

Just set up years subscription for time via tesco - i have a backlog of vouchers and it only needs £8.50 of them for a year. Have found it interesting in the past.

(Other super markets are available..)

Yep - buy two newspapers daily. Read the print off them and do the crosswords.
