Quick answer No!! and haven't done so for years, I prefer surfing
the TV news channels!!

You and I are alike Richard and I think that impacts on how we view things.
For example I wouldn't see much value in a small piece in a newspaper as it often has a very small impact compared to TV news channels. When you consider the millions that watch TV news if you can get on the main news channels at peak TV News time that would equal dozens of newspapers.
I also wonder how many read papers from cover to cover, as they did before teletext and TV News. However, I suspect people do watch the entire news and therefore a message on there has greater value than a piece in a paper newspaper. That said I will suggest that a newspaper that has an online service will have added value as more and more receive there news via RSS and/or Google feeds.

The future's bright, the future's digital.
