Favourite British paper

Which newspapers do you read? Why?

Or do you just get your info online, and if so, do you use the paper's web sites or another site like the BBC?

I don't read any paper regularly but check the BBC site daily, but if I was at a train station and bored or something I would probably get the Independent, the Guardian or the Scotsman.

This week my blog will be looking at the comments people leave on these newspapers' sites and how they differ.

They all have their quirks, I find it hard to choose a favourite. The only thing I can say for sure though is that it is really important to read more than one news source, or one inherits the bias - I know far too many Guardianistas and Daily Mailers!
I tend to flick between The Times and Daily Telegraph, but often look through The Spectator, BBC Online, Digg.com.
Certainly not The Guardian or Independent!

I like the Guardian site for blogs, and the Daily Mail to get my blood boiling.

Telegraph and The Times.

I work in a corner shop that doesn't really get that many customers in. So when I'm working, I work my way through all the daily papers.

If I were to choose though, I would buy The Times (cos it's awesome, y'all!) and The Sun (for the entertainment factor). On a Sunday I would go for the Sunday Times and that's it.

I also get BBC news via RSS on my phone. I hardly ever read the stuff though, so I tend to be a tad clueless about everything. :D

I don't read any physical newspapers - but, I do get the Daily Telegraph via email, and also on my phone, thanks to their iPhone app...

I don't keep up to date on any news to be honest, I find it all depressingly dull

If there is a news paper lying around I will have a look but tend to go straight for the funny stories...News of the World and The Sun normally provide the gems of hilarity

Sometimes I wish I was more worldy wise but it's nice to live in your own little bubble

I tend to read the Guardian; but I'll have a look at the Times, FT and occasionally the Telegraph.
