I too have stopped buying newspapers. I stopped buying more than the Sunday paper once it became obvious that buying the 'jobs vacant' special editions was a waste of money, and just got tired of the TV guide (I only kept buying it for that and the comics) always being wrong. Of course, the TV stations would always run over time, and swap movies at the last minute etc. I got tired of that and stopped it.

I tried the 'entertainment special' version on thursday (only $1) but it was just as bad in terms of accuracy. about this time I was rung up by the newspaper trying to sell me a week for %5 (a saving overall) delivered, so I told them why I wouldn't buy any day's paper any more, but I don;t think they were interested in listening.

We get a free 'community newspaper' thrown over the fence evey week which has a partial TV guide with only the titles of the shows. It also misses out the 'community TV' station - which I must stir them up abut! as well as the new digital stations, but at least I am not wasting $1.70 a week (it used to be only $1.50) any more.

As far as 'News' goes, well we have a monopoly in Brisbane - only one paper which is always pushing the Right line, and often is pretty lousy as far as journalistic standards go anyway, so I don;t miss it any more. I can use the free ones to do 'no dig' gardening anyway.
