I really read newspaper everyday and the headlines was the first thing I read and afterwards the editorial for it will speak something of a current events and the editor's view of the situation.
So when you had your newspaper in the morning what really caught your attention and what part of the newspaper you are really interested to read?

i only really read the newspapers for the little comics like hagar the horrid thats my favortie hehe. I also read the entertainment section because i love reading about disfunctional celebrities destroying their life, i also read the agony aunt sections because i like reading about other peoples problems. [balthazar_196]
I like comics too and sometimes entertainment for a change. Thanks balthazar. [maribel1218]
I was just about to leave for college and I was sitting in the dinning room with a rubbish local paper. I noticed an article about them (them being the evil overlords) changing a housing agents into a funeral parlour. i read on and realised that the building was right over my street! If the plan goes through, every time I leave the house there will be mourners and hurses about. How depressing would that be? I guess I'll have to turn emo. Other than that I just flick through. I never read articles about celebs, they annoy me. [PageDown]
thanks for sharing your views pagedown. [maribel1218]
I seldom read the newspaper anymore, except for maybe on Sunday. 90% of the news is to negatively slanted for my tastes. I will usually look at the sports pages first. I used to look at the paper everyday. No more. I might check out some other sections, but if I don't, it is no big deal. Sometimes it is nice not to know all the crap going on in the world. Because that is all the media stresses, what is bad or wrong. How can I believe all the junk on TV and in the papers? Everyone in the media has an agenda and very few give unbiased and truthful reporting. I don't need it in my life. [sigma77]
In my country sunday edition have additonal features and more pages that's why I really don't missed a sunday news. There is a certain truth in your view how negative sometime our tv and newspaper in some of the situation that are happening in our country some are really biased on thier opinion. thanks for sharing sigma77.

When I have the chance to grab a newspaper I really love to read the sports section and also the headlines and world news as well. Reading newspaper is a habit that really refresh my mind during that day and updated with worlwide events. [nathaniel1218]
I love sports section too!! thanks nathaniel!!! [maribel1218]
usual i read international page, after this i read intern politics, first page, becouse there are the very hot news...and i read all newspapers usual, i dont like read only oan or 2 sections or page, i read all, [martianwoman]
That was so nice to hear that you read the whole newspaper because usually I can't read the whole newspaper I usually in a hurry. Thanks martianwoman. [maribel1218]
hey Maribel,a very good question.I would say that apart from reading the headlines and major stuff on the front page,i love to read the daily supplement.I find it quite useful,informative and helpful in knowing about the latest in your city. [worthy]
My pleasure,sweet maribel :) [worthy]
I don't get the newspaper but the first thing I do when I go online is read the headlines on my home page. I like to read all of Canada's events that occured overnight and any major world events that may have happened. [linda345]
Yeah sometimes when I'm working I usually go to some websites that carries news or in my country there is a online news website so everytime you forget to purchase one you can read portion of it online. Thanks linda345. [maribel1218]
I don't usually read newspapers. But if I do get a chance to scan and read it, usually I go to the entertainment section if the headlines don't interest me at all.I also take time to read the editorial articles where the opinions are being showed because I like it when somebody tells his or her own point of view about something that matters to him or her. :) [myworld_and_you]
Yes sometimes I love to gossip about the celebrity specially with local celebs and be updated once in awile lol!!! thanks myworld_and_you. [maribel1218]
I read the headlines first thing.Then I read the 'letters to the editor'.It gives you a feel of the hot topics and some good analysis,positive criticism and solutions.Then it's the sports section.After sports,I go to the business,market and corporate section.After that I pretty much let the content decide what I read.Once I am done reading,I solve the sudoku and then I am done.I get most of the news on TV channels and websites ,but a newspaper is always a ready reference when the channel isn't featuring the news you are interested in and the internet connection is playing naughty.I don't think I will change my newspaper habit anytime soon. [bluewings]
We really have the same interests when in terms of reading newspaper and for me headlines and editorial go hand in hand in able for you to really understand what it is all about the news. Thanks bluewings. [maribel1218]
I don't like all that pages dedicated to politics, with all those politicians who feel like rockstar and like to be on mass media attention. I read news about economy, technology and sport above all. [layney]
That was great articles you choose layney specially the technology and economy and for me I really read sport article if time permits. thanks layney. [maribel1218]
I normally look at the headlines in our newspaper before buying the newspaper and if this sounds ok then I will buy the newspaper but I do not buy the newspaper on a daily issue. I do manage to read the places to rent and see what people are advertising. [kathy77]
sometimes headlines are the one who can really catch consumer attention and they are the one worth reading too. Thanks kathy!!! [maribel1218]
I want to know what is really happening in our country and overseas so I buy our newspapers. I am also engrossed in reading the editorial such as from de quirros and pat evangelista because i like their style and subjects. They are my favorite and my day is never complete without reading their section. [everlasting]
You bet everlasting and they are my favorites too!! Thanks. [maribel1218]
Of course, headlines are always be the first thing to be caught in my attention since headlines are always headlines (with all the pictures and bold letters in it). And make myself browsing through the Business and classified pages. [eman123]
You're right eman123 headlines are headlines and they are eye catching. Thanks. [maribel1218]
Headlines, showbiz gossip, financial pages, then editorial - in that order. Unless, the husband messes up the order by reading it first, or my son acts on his urge to create a newspaper castle/rocket ship/thundersaurus megazoid out of the newspaper before we get to read it. Then we just read whatever part of the paper we can get our hands on. [donditiples]
Sometimes I read showbiz too when my attention got hooked in some controversial issues and It is sometimes entertaining to know celebs life. thanks donditiples. [maribel1218]
Me too will read a newspaper everyday and the same habits apply to me too:)The headlines first then go to local news in details,internations news,financial views and related,special reports by editors if any and IT related news:) [dellion]
Yes that's right financial news I seldom read that portion lol!!! Thanks for reminding dellion. [maribel1218]
The first thing I look for when I read any newspaper, no matter where it is in the world, is the page with all of the world news on it. It's interesting to see how the media in different countries reports the world news. When I don't feel like reading it in the paper I listen to the BBC World Service. [danishcanadian]
That was a really good thought reading the world news I will try to browse that page too so I can be equipped also with some interesting news worldwide. Thanks danishcanadian. [maribel1218]
headlines cartoon on the corner of main page then turn back for sports news. [ksharatraj]
thanks for sharing your views ksharatraj!!! [maribel1218]
i m a sports lover, so first i will learn the sports section. then i will read the front page. because front page gives todays hot new. then i will look for some interesting news. the section which i dont like is of politics. i realy hate it. i love reading newspapers. [thyaga03]
Sometimes I really can't end reading the newspaper without reading the sports page. thanks thyaga!! [maribel1218]
Definitely the news headlines of the world and the Asia Pacific. other than that, the Forum where people will voice out and discuss their dismay about something or giving suggestions on certain issues. [syain1972]
I read newspaper for business and stock news. and sometimes editorials. [smartbrain69]
thanks smartbrain69! [maribel1218]
my first preference while i start reading newspaper (Hindustan Times)is: 1. Headlines from page 1st to end. 2. Weather. 3. Sports. and 4. Film. thanks. [20031969]
thanks 20031969!!! [maribel1218]
the weird headline..i like if there any weird headline on newspaper..my first page is sports, then local news.That's all. [reezluv]
thanks reezluv. [maribel1218]
i usually read first the Sport section of the newspaper then the headlines =) [webbuff]
To be honest, I only get the newspaper on Sundays because that is the day that they have all of the store's sale ads and the coupons in the paper. When I got daily delivery, I found that I didn't have time to read it and it went out to the recycle bin untouched most of the time. I get my news online at CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, and Buffalo.com I also watch the TV news stations a lot. When I scan our local paper I usually check the topic of the editorial and read it if I'm interested, but our writers have some pretty weird views and most of the time I'm in total disagreement with what they say. [lauriefnp]
i only read the entertainment and lifestyla sections. once in a blue moon i read the headline! i prefer watching news on tv than reading it on papers. :) [kris_02ph]
the best section of the newspaper is the life style and entertainment. Wheather you like it or not, that is the life of everyone and the newspaper. [mdbpineda]
Yes i too go through the headlines forst but then i move to the business page to see share prices and other related news after this i go to the city edition to know whats going around in my city. [limcyjain]
ever since edsa I, i never read other newspapers except, the daily inquirer. just like you my friend, i read first the banner headlines then head straight to cartoons section. im a sucker for pmjr. of pugad baboy. in fact i have tons of collection of pugad baboy booklets. (ang layo ng sagot ko ano? hahahahaha) how r u today my friend. everyday is a new day for a wise man sabi ng isang kanong di ko kilala... [bosing143c]
As of now, I have lost interest in newspapers because of the internet. It used to be that I would first go into the business section, sports, classified ads, comics then finally to the crossword. I don't know why I don't like editorials. Maybe they are too opinionated. [rbnstr08]
I like buying the Sunday papers because it has alot of store circulars and job openings I like reading to see what all they have for jobs.I usually will read the main headlines if its a major story.I like the comics too.I usually go online and look at are main newspaper though.Well you can see the job openings online anyways.I dont know about the main headlines becuase I havent looked at them online. [Carrie26]
i don't read the news paper or watch the news very often. i find so much negative things and it really gets to me. there is another child missing or another road side bomb kills its just so negative so i stopped reading and watching it puts me in a down mood reading all the bad that goes on in the world. [aretha]
Current local news and then I'd have to say the classifieds. I love seeing what other people are selling. [coolcatzz]
I guess I'm up to reading more from local news, then world news and sports. I often read the entertainment also, to look for some interesting articles about celebrities!;) I enjoy reading it more because I can have a time to relax from other news that is so disturbing, especially when I see alot of people committing crimes, accidents and the endless politicking of our politicians!;) [raijin]
im not really that type of person who reads news paper or watch news on tv.. i dont know maybe because most of the news now are so depressing and all are negative but when i have a newspaper in my hand i first look at the leisure section before others...it keeps me flooded with good gadgets and things. then after that of course others news that may dismay me. [lossforredwords]
thanks lossforredwords! wheeww new avatar! [maribel1218]
The headlines yes, sometimes its the only ones I read. LOL. Then the Business section and then the fashion. [Perry2007]
I usually go to the headlines first, then I would go to the leisure and entertainment section then i would go back to the editor's note and some articles of the contributors. [mauier113]
I think newspapers twist the facts to make things appear the way they want them to! Try and keep up with International news and buy my local paper to see what is happening but otherwise it is straight to sudoko section!!! [mummymo]
i only read news paper when im waiting for someone when i see one i try to see what in it and try to see whats going on, but i dont usually look for news paper in the morning [mastergkage]
I generally check the headlines on the first page and read that article if it interests me, otherwise I kove to read the business page and the stock market page. Then I move to the international and national section. Sports pages are interseting too. Many of the newspapers in India have a city or state specific section, I read these stories too. If I have seen or heard of something interesting on the TV or the radio, I try and read that story first. [tarachand]
When I was in college I had time to read news paper I was reading it daily and I read two news paper one in english and another in my native language and my favorite columns were sports and entertainment and then exonomics.... and the day I joined my company I became busy and didnt really have time to read news papers now a days I read only through net and rarely get sometime to sit down and read news paper..... happy posting by Maathav.....
