| 1345025 | 2013-06-10 06:21:00 | The press is supplied free at work so read it most working days Do they remove the job section on Wednesdays and Saturdays like one workplace I know? :p |

| 1345028 | 2013-06-11 04:46:00 | We have the Herald delivered and I read it every day, plus the Sunday Star Times and the local paper. Without them I would not have a compact information source that I could scan quickly for items of interest. I've tried reading newspapers on-line but it is too slow and very frustrating. I can scan a double-page spread for articles of interest that I might want to read, or ads that could be relevant to current needs, all in a matter of a few seconds, then move on. Try doing that on a computer screen and see how you get on. Newspapers are self-powered, use available light, never hang, don't need upgrading, are immune to viruses and trojans, can be recycled, are a source of latent heat in winter, are 100% recycleable, don't produce toxic waste, and feed the brain, not drain it. I have a large trunk of newspapers from the WWII period that my mother kept for my father while he was serving in the Western Desert chasing Rommel (literally), and none of the data has deteriorated, they work just as well after nearly 70 years as they did when new. Today''s news is tomorrow's history, good or bad, and it will be a sad day if print news ever vanishes. Besides, what would we use to wrap our fish and chips? Cheers Billy 8-{) :2cents: |

| 1345032 | 2013-06-16 04:27:00 | It would be interesting to see peoples age groups in their replies. I'm an older guy. I like reading a newspaper, but I hardly buy one these days. I read the Herald on line and read BBC news online. There is more information in the printed Herald, its not all online. But I think they are dreamign if they think they will eb able to bring in paywalls in NZ. But of course someone has to pay Journalists to write the articles Or maybe we will just rely on Tv and radio journalists in the future. Red Phone boxes are also disappearing due to mobile phones. |
