What newspaper do you buy daily now?

Newspaper history should be a separate topic.. I grew up in a house where newspapers were a serious thing.. The Dundee Courier, the Press and Journal and the Scotsman were delivered daily. The Scotsman delivery changed to the Glasgow Herald when I was about 12. I pushed for the Guardian when I was about 14. Left home in 1992. Bought the Guardian till about 2013. Switched to the FT kindle subscription. Cancelled that due to brexit coverage. Bought the Times until lockdown ended my long commute. Now buy the Times and FT on Saturday. Occasionally buy the Sunday Mail (scottish tabloid) and the Sun.

So what you are saying is you wish the papers didn't have to drive online views and could go back to the print, and advertising in print, model of yesteryear but at the same time you buy a fraction of the paper copies you used to.
