Hi Stu,
I expected this to pertain to paper newspapers.
In grammar and high school, I hated to read. I was a very slow reader, but with 100% comprehension. I'd check myself at the end of each paragraph, and go back and re-read it if I didn't understand it, or if my mind wandered and I didn't really read it. I'd read comic books, physics, or chemistry books at the same speed. When in college, that served me well, and some times, I'd read the book instead of going to class, and just show up for tests.
Eventually, I got into reading for pleasure, and knowledge. Primarily, Star Trek novels for pleasure. They were really easy to get into because I already knew half of the characters in the book. And WWII and Viet Nam war, history. During that period of my life, we had the newspaper delivered, and I read it sometimes.
Then as I aged, my vision changed, and reading became a chore, not fun anymore. Only after feeling more comfortable wearing glasses, even for watching television, did I return to reading as a pastime. In recent years, I've been reading Irish, Scotch, Early England, and Norseman histories, and The Bible. Most are hard cover books, I borrowed from the Library. I do have a few downloaded onto my phone, and an audio book or two.
Because it is hard (next to impossible) to read my phone while wearing sunglasses at the beach, I bought a paperback.
I can't remember the last time I bought and read a newspaper. Maybe once a month, I read the local paper that gets delivered once a week. The online newspapers, are annoying in that they are more click bait than anything else... headlines, and a paragraph, and then... buy a subscription if you want to read the story. I am truly annoyed that google puts them at the top of any search, without identifying them as advertisements.
