Friday Five: Newspapers
Mar. 7th, 2025 10:37 am1. Did the house where you grew up have a newspaper delivered regularly?
Usually. My mom didn't always have the money for a subscription but even then she bought it virtually every day. But yes, more or less, most of the childhood we got the paper delivered to the apartment.
2. Have you ever subscribed to an actual print newspaper?
Nope. Only digital.
3. When was the most recent time you physically picked up and read a newspaper?
Genuinely can't remember. Probably one of the recent times my kids had their photos in there. For some reason photos that include my kids keep making it into local papers for local events. I mean. They ARE adorable.
4. Do you pay for news online now?
Yes! I am currently paying $5/month for theguardian.com US edition; before that I had a New York Times subscription for over a decade, but uh. yeah. fuck them actually.
5. Do you have any saved newspaper clippings?
Many.
