I'm one among the people who read the last page of the newspaper first.happy Then I read the first page and go on to the second. I know few of my friends who read the sports page first. How about you? Which page of the newspaper do you read first?

responses and comments:
I read the first page first.Just an old habit.then I read the sports part and then the entertainment pages. [arthi_88]
wow..So you read the hot news first.that is good. [smilyn]
when i read a news paper i like look though every pages and then look which i lie best first,i think it`s the best method. [QiongLi01]
that is an easy way of navigation of interesting pages.. [smilyn]
me and my husband share the newspaper in the morning so I don't have any particular page to start with. It would be anything on the top of the various newspaper sections that my husband did not pick out first. But most of the time, my husband would get the sports section. So I'd be picking up the thickest section which is the headlines and news. [bubbletush]
that is fine..this is common when you share the newspaper with someone at the same time. I have seen this with my parents..They share the papers and read news in turns.. [smilyn]
I use to read the first page as most people do.I focus on the headlines first and go through the entire paper all headings and read the news in detail if it interests me.Then in the evening,i read completely all the news.I am not much interested with sports column like you.Cheers! [srganesh]
oh..so you glance through the newspaper twice a day..I never spend that much time for that..I just read through the complete portion of interesting news at the same time. [smilyn]
I read the front page first to catch the latest big events, and after a quick glance over pages, to settle on the page of life. This page usually focus on stories around us, and health tips, which is my focus too. The travel page is also attractive to me. I would read through the articles on places new and far and stories from trips. [zhuhuifen46]
I read the headlines on the first and second page and then thoroughly read the first page of the newspaper. I am not much interested in sports and generally only glance through the headlines on the sports pages. Am not much into reading the sports news. [mayka123]
Me, i used to read the horoscope page first, for me it's the most interesting content of the news paper, then i will turn to the celebrity, the show business page, i want to ne updated of my favorite stars, then the last is the undying current events, which are mostly politics and problems. [lacusGavril]
i first browse the whole newspaper then return to TV channel guide.. hehehe [mizstress]
I will glance at the front page, but that's usually not the first page that I will actually read, unless something really catches my eye. During the basball season, I will glance at the back page (the sports) if I don't know what my team did, but once again I don't usually read about it. The first thing I usually jump to is the comic section. I have always started with the comics, I think because, the rest of the paper is just so filled with bad stuff. The comics always manage to bring a smile to my face. wink [uicbear]
I always read the front page first. It is where the hot topic is highlighted and then I'll move to the obituaries and see who has left. [zandi458]
Hey there! I read the sports page first then the front page. I like to start reading by reading something about sports, specially basketball. I like hearing news from NBA specially if Kobe or LeBron made anothre milestone in the sport. Have a nice day. Happy posting!! [AltheGreat2430]
haha sports fan rasp [lordwarwizard]
I read the main news on first page. If there is some continuation in next pages, I turn to them. then I go to sports pages. [subha12]
i chose the editorial page first....after completing the editorial page ill skim for cinema news...i have much interest in cinema...ill go through the cinema central pages fully.. then i ll go for the sports page...mostly i will watch all the sports action in television itself, so there is no much need in seeing it again in paper...ESPN is providing a complete sports centre which covers all the sports.. then the main page of the paper... this is how i read the news paper... [gunagohan]
lifestyle .. then horoscope of the day..LOOOOL next is the first page, hot news. hhahaha [carrine]
I read the front page then the rest of the first section. The sports gets tossed in the recycle bin, unopened. Then I read the rest of the paper and save the funnies and Dear Abby for breakfast reading. [dragon54u]
I always browse the whole newspaper and all the headings quickly to find my favourite topics. Then I move to my favourite topics to read carefully in details. If time permits, I will read other news. [my1341]
If there is a interesting last page than I read first the last page. [dvrtmcc]
Hi smilyn, The front page of course! For me, I don't cherry pick. I normally read the papers in the order the content is presented. And so, I simply follow the order and read from top to bottom. Cheers! lol [lordwarwizard]
I read the lifebeat first, specifically the horoscope. Then, I go to the front section and work my way through the paper. [kimmie200897]
Well, the main thing that I always find myself reading if I purchase a News Paper is the front page first, and then go from there. Because most of the time, it will be something on the front page that tends to catch my eye anyways as well. I do tend to read a lot of the Newspaper though and find it quite interesting but for me the Top News of the day in the area is what seems to always draw me the most. [KrauseHome]
I don't take a newspaper anymore but use to read the funnies first. Then the Ads, after that got to the rest of the news. [savypat]
Hi smilyn , I read the Main news from first page first.Then will go to the last page and come back from back to first page... If i have to check anything interesting from sports page then i will go to the sports page first. For our newspaper last page is not the sports page.Sports page is the two pages before the last pages.. Have a nice day and thanks for starting an interesting subject as a discussion.happy [naseefu]
I read the first page, then I turn to the middle of the newspaper and read the cartoons to cheer myself from the negative headlines we seem to be having these days. Then I will go and read the horoscope page. Sometimes it way of the mark, but at other times, it is uncanny how accurate it can be happy - Derek [derek_a]
I think whichever page you read first tells a lot about you. I like lifestyle and the columnists that just write about life. Also perspectives is good and teh movie section with the movie times and reviews! [csrobins]
I watch and read the first page for sure and then go straight to the sports page and thereafter to the editorial page and then come other pages as I can leaf through them. [sn_singh56]
i alwys start w/the front page & go to the back page. i quit taking a paper a month ago & i really miss it. was one way i could cut back. [ANTIQUELADY]
The front page news then horoscopes then tv guide then cartoons then classifieds! [Sparky5115]
a skim on front page then right to the cartoons and puzzles, then entertainment, then sports then the news... best to have the laughs and smiles before the frowns and the headshakes... [Mathurin]
I, too, read the newspaper from the back to the front, and I read the comics from the bottom to the top. [bellis716]
I go for the headlines of course.Then the business page and lastly to the letters to the editor. [balasri]
When it comes to newspapers or magazines I always tend to look at the last page first and then I go for the cross words page, quizzes and so on, and then Im ready to read the paper. I have always wonder about why do I look at the last page first?. Any normal person would start at the begining! don't you think?. Why in the world would anyone want to see the end before the begining! just imagine living life like that! maybe that is why I have made so many mistakes? [alottodo]
i read the sports page first.i like sports very much.so automatically i read the sports page.it has become a habit.many of the other news are useless.nowadays election stunt is going on.and rest of the part is advertisement.of,course i look ads which is related to internet.like new home jobs,new business,part time jobs,new products,like that. [rajani09]
I used to do the same. The last 3 or 4 pages are generally related to sports. So I used to first check Cricket or Football news. Then later my craze towards sports declined and I started reading the main news which appears on the front page first. The second page consists of readers comments etc. So I tend to ignore it and move to the 3rd page which has more news. Then from 3rd page to the end. [VANILLAREY]
I read the headlines on the first page. I need to have a general knowledge of whats going on around me. When friends say this or that happened, I will know what they are referring to. I like being in the know of whats happening in the area. [SuzyQ12]
I usually start with the first page, and go through the whole newspaper, I read just about every bit of it, except the sports section, I skip over that, I'm not into sports much, then I make sure I read all the classifieds, to see if there's anything interesting that I might need to buy..lol. [walijo2008]
I start with the first page.Or if some news catch my eyes,I'll read them first.lol Mostly,I cant finish all pages.I dont read all sports news. [sweetyethot]
I go straight for the crossword page straight away! I love doing the two crosswords in our daily paper as well as the suduko puzzle. I feel a sense of achievement when I have completed both of them on my own and the suduko too. I do it every day and it's a great way of passing the time away when the commercials come on during my favourite programme. [wolfie34]
Ialways look at the social/lifestyle pages that show movies and events etc. [saffrondallas]
I usually read the local section first. I try to find out if anything has happened in the area that I live that I didn't know about. I also like to read the obituaries...my husband says that I am weird for doing this, but I have actually found people that I knew had passed by reading the obits. [4ofmyown]
Hi smilyn! I read the front page first. The most important news are more often than not found on the front page. Then, I would go over very important articles. After reading front page stories, I would read the business section of the newspaper. That portion is important for me because I use it to enhance my lectures. The last few pages I would go over are the sports and entertainment sections. [dolce_vita78]
