Do you read the newspaper
 everyday  or only on occasion? What section do you start with???

This all comes from something that happened at work today- they dropped off our morning paper and as I always do( and everyone knows) I reached for the sports section. Then a New Guy had a fit because a woman was taking the sports section before a man. Can you believe the gall- I can tell we are going to have trouble already-- he isnt going to last long in our unit--thats for sure.

Re: Do you read the newspaper
I would have made a snappy comment about sexist comments being considered sexual harrassment.  Jokingly, but would have given him a look.  Of course - I want NOTHING to do with the sports section :winkb:

Actually, I want nothing to do with the paper.  If it weren't for the Sunday coupons/circulars, I wouldn't buy the paper at all.  Waste of paper in my opinion, now that the Internet is so readily available and has up-to-date info from around the world.

Re: Do you read the newspaper
 I only get the Sunday paper for the coupons/sale circs....if I got any paper, it would be the local paper and hopefully all the good stuff would be in the front page section. :)

Re: Do you read the newspaper
 what a strap!  (that's what we call 'the new guy')

I avoid the paper unless my dept  makes the news

when I was in college, I subscribed to USA Today for a while, loved it, then Wall Street Journal while i was a business major.  I read that cover to cover for 8 weeks.  I tried.  Now I stick to getting my news via local ABC at 6am.

Re: Do you read the newspaper
 I read every section of the newspaper everyday.  Although when I am working I tend to stack up all the papers and read them all on Saturday.  :)  My dh and I sometimes fight for the sports page, but I don't really care what section I get first.  Although, I do like to get my hands on the crossword first. 

I agree your co-worker probably won't last long with that attitude!

Re: Do you read the newspaper
 The first thing I read are the comics, then the Maryland section and then the front page.  I really don't read it just look at the headlines.

Re: Do you read the newspaper
I get my local newspaper all week and read it starting from the "A" section through to the end of the last section.

Then, I get the Los Angeles Times Thursday through Sunday and read that.

 I actually get 3 delivered at home and subscribe to 2 online. But I only read the sport section of our local paper.

What a jerkface though. I never read the "style" section of any of the papers either. ;) Just give me the news, straight up, that's all I'm after.

 I usually read the whole thing - order depends on what else I'm doing - like watching tv or eating :)

Re: Do you read the newspaper
 Yes, I read the newspaper.. we get a small local paper weekly, and on occassion I get the Sunday paper. I start at  A , and move on back to the end. Not spontaneous at all when it comes to my newspaper. However, I do skip the sports section alltogether!

Re: Do you read the newspaper
 I specifically subscribe for the weekend because of the adds/etc.  However, for some reason they've been delivering the paper everyday and I glance through most of it.
