Just had to do this one again. I admit I only subscribe to the Friday and Weekend paper in the town where I live. I only read two pages of the paper and that is the front page and the inside letters to the editor. I get most of the important news on TV, such as it is. I will be so glad when this election is over with!
Oh gosh. A traditional American icon is biting the dust. We have too many instant news sources on the Internet and all of the other electronic devices so that the newspapers just cannot compete. I'm an example (bad) as I cancelled my newspaper delivery. It got so that I was collecting them from the yard and putting them directly into the trash barrel (without even removing the rubber bands). Of course I live in a smaller community and the Big News of the Day was what the kindergarten class was up to. The news that matters is on the web, wouldn't you know? Isn't it a shame to see great American institutions dissolve into history? That's life, huh?
We used to get the Sunday NYTimes. My husband read the news and I did the puzzles. I have gotten with magazines like you with the papers. I'm down to two subscriptions. One is a gift so I guess I'll always have one hanging around.
Still there's something about having something to hold in your hands. It makes it yours.

Pixi, magazines are also on my "no more" list. The next time you receive a mag, notice how many pages are ads and how many are something interesting to read. I can get enuf free ads without paying for a subscription.

I used to love the visuals in magazines but there's no artwork any more and except for kids' mags and the occasional graph and the photos are usually not that good. Do you remember tho old Reader's Digest and the Saturday Evening Post? What terrific art they had. Imagine buying a magazine and getting a Norman Rockwell on the cover!
they are not worth the money
I read the obits on line

How about some comic book covers C4J?
