I keep hearing people say that this paper sucks and this one is bigoted but I haven't found any thing that says this is a good one. So if I were to get a subscription tomorrow which paper would you recommend?



kalikshama -> RE: newspapers (8/2/2012 7:54:43 AM)

The New York Times - online - save trees.

Which newspapers won the most Pulitzer Prizes?

The New York Times has won the most Pulitzer Prizes by far, at 109, including the five received in 2011. The newspaper with the second best record is The Washington Post, with 57; the Los Angeles Times, with 39; and the Wall Street Journal, with 34. The Chicago Tribune, Boston Globe and Miami Herald have also won a respectable number of Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. The Associated Press, which is not a newspaper but a news service, has won 49 Pulitzers since 1917, mostly for photography.

[Count includes all Journalism award categories including editorial cartoons, photography and Public Service.]

I find the Chicago Tribune while not as good as it once was still a good morning read.
I read the NYT online as well.



Moonhead -> RE: newspapers (8/2/2012 11:32:09 AM)

The problem is that if the liberal massive likes a paper, the neocons will declare it biased, ugly and full of fail.
The opposite case also applies, of course.
What paper to subscribe to depends on your own bias: a political agenda is largely invisible if you happen to agree with it, after all.



Winterapple -> RE: newspapers (8/2/2012 11:33:09 AM)

The NY Times and the Washington Post.
I enjoy reading the British newspapers
including the tabloids. British tabloids are
the gold standard which is why so many
American tabloids are edited by or well
staffed with Brits.



Moonhead -> RE: newspapers (8/2/2012 11:35:33 AM)

Dear Christ, The Herald Trib is hardly the Times, but I didn't think it was so bad that it makes the Mail or the Sun look good...



joether -> RE: newspapers (8/2/2012 11:40:41 AM)

I read many different publications during the day. Being a New Englander, the Boston Globe wins out over the Boston Herald almost every time. The paper (The Globe) looks professional and the articles are well written. While the Boston Herald is tabloid trash. When picking a newspaper you'll just have to study each of them on your own over a period of time. Its a time consuming process, I realized, BUT, you'll get nearly all the facts regarding an issue. As you read, you'll find over time which publications provide the most facts, give the different sides equal time to rant and keep the personal opinion of the writer to a minimal.

But dont stick to just newspapers for your information.

Quite. Rush Limpdick has the final word in defining reality for a large chunk of the population, and there's all of those blogs on the internet set up to spread partisan astroturf.
Much more reputable than any source that has to print a retraction and apologise if they're caught lying...

Your local one. 

The internet is going to provide you with access to multiple views on world/national, and even state affairs, but the only way you are going to get coverage of the news that is going to directly impact your day to day life is to support your local daily or weekly.  The New York Times isn't going to bother telling you about the candidates for your school board, or how the city council voted on a bond measure to install a new storm drain (much less when an arterial you commute on is going to be torn up to install that new storm drain).  The Wall Street Journal won't give you the rundown on high school sports, and which local kid advanced to Nationals in an American Legion speech contest, or where the Elks/Moose/K of C Lodge will be holding a car wash to raise money to buy a disabled veteran a modified car.  The LA Times classified ads certainly aren't going to have anything on estate and garage sales that would be worth hitting in your neighborhood on Saturday morning, much less the free "found" ads that might bring a lost puppy or cat back home.

lulu, I really don't know what your age is, but whatever it is I think this is a dumb post. Why do you need others opinions on something like this ? Why don't you just buy a couple of newspapers, read them and decide which ones you like ?  



slvemike4u -> RE: newspapers (8/2/2012 9:08:47 PM)

The above is just rude,but not totally unexpected,considering the source and all.
As for the post,I am going to choose to answer it on the basis of"if I can only read one newspaper,what paper shout that be ?"
The New York Times of course,"All the News That's Fit to Print " and all that [:D]

You're sure that the OP isn't just curious which paper other posters read, and why they like that one?



subspaceseven -> RE: newspapers (8/3/2012 6:41:28 AM)

I read the LA Times, The Miami Herald, The Chicago Trib, and the NYT all online at least 2 a day, once a week I look at the Wash.Post, and The NY post




Sanity -> RE: newspapers (8/3/2012 7:29:14 AM)


The New York Times is pure propaganda, nothing but far left drivel. Just another arm of the Democrat party... Its so bad that it cant even hold on to its socialist base and its circulation is plummeting, going broke fast.

Most of the old (or far left) media is going teats up because the Internet is making it possible for the public to see through their lies. Only the true Kool-Aid drinkers regularly patronize such poisoned "news" sources these days

So why, o bringer of truth, is the Chicago Tribune in financial trouble as well?

Perhaps you might tell us what liberal powerhouse controls the ny times.



SilverMark -> RE: newspapers (8/4/2012 4:18:57 AM)

Pick a couple, and include some that are outside of the US....I wouldn't suggest TheMail, but there are others like the Guardian, that give a view of the US from a different perspective. The Guardian has 2 editions a US and an England issue, never hurts to see how the world sees us.



lulubell -> RE: newspapers (8/4/2012 6:27:35 AM)

Thanks everyone I will check out the selections offered. I do read my local paper for events but I don't think they do a good job of carrying events in the rest of the country let alone the world.

Servant what difference does my age make? Does fox news lie less if I am older or younger?

I am starting with the la times and looking fofrward to the reg. Thanks again

[:)]  No, probably not.  I like to say that if you want to know what's going to be in the national/world section of my paper tomorrow, look at the Yahoo News feed, today.  That's what the internet is for.
