No. But I love the idea of people in the 50s going out to their porch with a cup of coffee in hand and getting the paper. This is one of the images I have in my head when someone says the American Dream.

Anyone still read a physical newspaper?

:shrug:

My Dad comes and lives with us from December til April to get out of the cold of upstate New York and we get the Las Vegas Review Journal for him.

I have a friend from High School that writes the gambling section columns and he's always asking, "Did you see Dewey's article in the paper today?"

Try 80s. Nobody my age reads a paper. The only time anybody who was born in the 70s on looks in a paper is to maybe look for a job (but doubtful) or if they are having a yard sale and want to check their ad.

Get the NY Post delivered to my house every day. And I read it with my coffee (and usually a protein bar) at 7 am each day. Oh, and I still physically cut the lines out of the paper each day too.

I quit getting a physical newspaper in the early 90?s. I saw the paper man throwing out of his car while the newspaper was so small it almost blew back in his car. I get it if you live in a large metro area, otherwise it?s a waste of money in my opinion. :shrug:

I pick one up here and there For utility purposes. If I?m going to paint something small, or To cover the patio table if I eat boiled
crawfish, but mainly My son stuffed his track spikes and running shoes with newspaper after he runs in wet conditions. I don?t read it at all
