    hmmm metro and evening standard because i read them on the train.


    I read the Guardian, Independent and BBC News. Like The Times but not being able to read it online is annoying, so I often only read it at the weekend as my parents buy it.

    The Daily Mail, because of its sensationalism, is probably my favourite to read however........ the sad faces of all the wronged readers are something I look for. I do not agree with it's political slant at all, but it does make me lol!

    The Telegraph, as it's most aligned with my political views. The Independent's alright once in a while.

    No one reads Daily Express, surprising given some of the posts we see on here.

    Lmao at the amount of people who voted for The Times.

    The Guardian and Independent it is for me (well, I read articles on their website rather than actual newspapers).

    The Daily Mail PURELY because I find their website quite easy to read and I have a good laugh now and then. Plus to be honest, it's helping my analyzing skill to label all the bull**** that comes out of it. So about 99.9% of it.

    Plus it brings me a small joy whenever I read the comment section slating the articles.

    I alternate between The Daily Telegraph & The Daily Times. I sometimes get i just as a quick read in the afternoons.

    I'm surprised at how unpopular the FT is... Is it because of the price?

    I buy a hell of a lot of a lot of newspapers.

    The Indy or the i for my British News, The Scotsman's my 'local' paper, I get the odd El Pais when I can be bothered to take the time to read it, and I read The National (a UAE Newspaper) because it's a pretty good place to catch up on news in the old country.

    I really like i . In my opinion it's got a great balance between the news you need to know and something you actually enjoy reading. I also love the size and the fact that it's stapled - far more convenient than the Telegraph for example.

    If I happen to be on the train I often read the Metro. It's fun and gives you the gist of the main headlines.

    I used to read the Guardian pre-2009 election but now I read the Economist and sometimes the Financial Times. I am surprised that there are more than one Financial Times readers on TSR.

    The Guardian, though I also occasionally enjoy the Indy as well

    the rest I avoid like the plague wouldn't even wipe my rear with most of them in fact.

    I read The Times and The Telegraph most often. At the University library I sometimes read the media section of The Guardian, but avoid the commentary like the plague. Lloyd's list is good too, but I usually have to go to their website due to the difficulty of finding a print copy.
