AS YOU READ this piece this morning, it has to be asked if you are reading it in a newspaper or on the Internet on a computer in front of you.

interesting article. i have to say that i don't remember reading a real, pulp and print newspaper for months.

Almost the same with me.

I buy print newspapers about once a week to help support the newspaper boys who are trying to make a living. Also, I use the printed version as an all-purpose sapin, like for when I bring the bayong to the market, when I haul plants using the van, when painting around the house, and what not.

Although it would be more ecologically friendly if newspapers weren't printed anymore. Kaso nga lang, hindi naman lahat ng tao may Internet access, at hindi lahat ng laman ng print edition ay kasama sa web version.

a couple of years ago sundays lang din meron newspaper sa bahay. now i only get to hold a newspaper in public places like banks.

Yes, printed newspapers are helpful for passing away the time in banks. Di na kasi pwede mag-text sa loob ng bangko e

newspapers have lots of secondary uses..we use old papers here in our depot, pambalot ng items and whatnots.

I read a printed newspaper nearly everyday (at my parent's place when I go there for lunch)... but I haven't bought one in a very long time (unless you count the free newspaper if you buy a Jollibee breakfast with peach/mango pie).

me I dont read newspapers anymore even news sa internet (for almost 2 years now) . pag nagkataon lang nasa resto o barber shop lang ako nakakabasa hehehe

all I can say is life is good without newspapers. major drawback hindi ko alam up to now kung ano nangyari sa last Mayon eruption, hindi ko alam kung gano ka-tindi pananalanta ng last typhoon.

tabloids na lang siguro ang matitira para sa masa.
i only buy newspaper on weekends, kailangan kasi minsan ng mga anak ko sa school.
