Can't stand the red-tops, though the only journos I know are tabloid. Quite like the Indie, Guardian's hard work - don't like their style, but they have some entertaining opinions. Tend to read the Evening Standard and the Times usually.

I don't read newspapers if I can help it, but Maff, I appreciate your honesty!

I usually read the Guardian and Observer, occasionally the Express but I've gone off that a bit. Have also been known to read the Mail just to get an alternative point of view - I find it's easier to organise your opinion of something if you read an article on it that you completely disagree with, and that's what usually happens!

I tend to not read newspapers, they all have their own agender and will report each story to suit that agender. I also don't feel the need to pull apart every story I do read. But then that's just ickle ole me

I don't get much time to read the papers now, but when I do/did it was always the tabloids as I couldn't stand not having the room to read the larger papers......

i only read the comic strips, problem pages and the stars and occasionally do the crossword

I read the nationals only rarely these days and if I do, it's The Mirror, my mum and dad used to read it for years. I tend to prefer my local newspapers.. my favourite is The Journal... I love it... it's a good informative read in the morning, with the main focus being on local news. They do cover some national news, but not with the sensationalist angle that some of the tabloids like to use.. i also like its sister paper, The Evening Chronicle.. for the same reasons... and plus i can read all about my footie team too

No fair! My paper! I wanted first crack at it

I will read any paper that I find interesting, whether it be a tabloid or a broadsheet.
I know there are people on here who mock the tabloids, such as The Sun, yet when seeing a copy will happily read the sports pages, saying 'Well they do cover sport really well'.
You get out of a newspaper what you want to get out of it, whether it be left/right wing bias, indepth news articles from around the world, an easy read over a cup of coffee, naked women or really cool cartoon strips.

I don't think any newspaper is better or worse than another. They all cater for their readers and their readers differ.

I think slating one paper, or type of paper, is wrong just because *you* don't like their views. They all have something to offer everyone, whatever that is.

The only paper i read regularly is the Daily Mail. I can read the sun, used to at work when someone left it lying around and it's OK. I have to add though, the naked women did nothing for me

As for the rest, i just find them boring or feel that they've missed the point of a story so i tend to stau away from them.

When I get the paper it's usually The Times or The Guardian

I occasionally read the Mail, but it tends to amuse and dismay me in equal measure.

The Guardian and Observer on web or paper. If I'm looking for information I may look at the Times or Independent web versions. I find tabloids depressing and infuriating by turns.

Seconded

I'll get The Sun during the week and the News Of The World on a Sunday. Yes, some aspects of both papers wind me up sometimes but all papers are bound to do that sometimes. I just prefer the stories that they do and that they presented in plain English.

And it's funny that whenever I take a copy with me to court I often find barristers flicking through and reading it....

I read the Indy for choice, because I prefer its values (and because it was nice enough to give me work on its website ) but I don't necessarily think it's the best.

I respect the Mail for the way in which it has such a clear idea of its target audience, the Sun for the skill with which it reduces complex issues to a bare minimum of words without sacrificing accuracy, and the Telegraph for the the breadth of its coverage: it misses very little.

I try to avoid sneering at any paper, although I do think some have an exaggerated sense of their own importance.

Which, along with that scene from The Comic Strip's parody of The Fly (where Keith Allen's girlfriend tells her friend what he said to her after a night of passion), gives me a brilliant idea for a Sun advert. Picture Cherie Blair, sneeking a peek at the peeper's paper during court recess, and beneathe, the caption: 'The Sun. You love it, don't you, you {text deleted because, while it's permissable in the nation's favourite family paper, it probably isn't here}?' Perhaps Allen could do the voiceover...

I usually read the Sun

The Evening Chronicle and The Journal are the papers we need to get most often.

At the weekends we get The Mail and The Observer, The Times, The Telegraph or The Independant!
