What newspapers do you read
I thought it would be interesting to see what newspapers you people read and how often you read them. I will start this off.
SATURDAY
Daily Mail
Telegraph
Financial Times
SUNDAY
Sunday Times
Mail on Sunday
WEEKDAYS
Generally dont read a daily, as working full time I dont get any spare time. If im on holiday then I usually would read either The Times of The Daily Mail.

Re: What newspapers do you read
I don't read any newspapers- I don't think they're worth the time or money.
However, on my Palm I get Reuters, USA Today, the Washington Post, CSM and the Cato Institute (as close as I get to reading a blog site) downloaded daily. I also usually spend a least a little bit of time watching CNN, FNC, and occasionally, for a laugh, MSNBC.
I usually catch breaking headlines from the wires on Yahoo news.

Volkskrant and the NRC Handelsblad. I don't get to read newspapers often (think 2-4 times per week) though as a subscription would be an expensive luxury for me. Sometimes I read Spits, a tabloid wich is distributed in public transit for free, even though I don't really like it.

Re: What newspapers do you read
I've stopped reading papers, for no other reason except I've moved to a place where the pickings are slim.
Main new sources (sites that I check at least once a day):
Slashdot
Ars Technica
Anand Tech
Most of the news I read is geek-related, as you can plainly see. The only "news"-ish site I visit with any regularity is Google News, since it provides a false feeling of overview that I find pleasing.
Of the blogs I read, only two are even close to being political in the Backroom sense of the word. Andrew Sullivan, because I prefer to get my political news from Gay Republicans, and Andrew Rilstone, because I prefer to get my cultural news from repressed English geeks.

Re: What newspapers do you read
Daily:
The Courier (my local paper, and one of the last to have offices on Fleet Street)
The Daily Mail (well, there isn't much reading in it, but some things are good in it)
Sunday:
Scotland on Sunday
Mail on Sunday (usually, not always)
The Sunday Mail (If my brother's home)

I don't read newspapers because their Editors are always full of (censored)!!
I'd rather news channel hop on Digital and search the web

Re: What newspapers do you read
Don't read papers much any more full of their own agenda. If I get the chance I look through the local ones.
Re: What newspapers do you read
I don't read weekend papers as I find them pretty boring, full of useless rubbish and lighter on the news than the weekday counterparts.
During the week I read the Independent and the Guardian though. Luckily I get subsidised student prices so both cost less than one would normally if I wasn't a student.

Re: What newspapers do you read
I read weekendavisen. its not really a traditional newspaper, it covers stories and culture, more than NEWS. it has good debates and i prefer that to others, also reading a leftwing paper called information, both danish.

Re: What newspapers do you read
JAG: strange, I tend to feel the same way about daily papers.
Telegraph and Times in weekends. During the week there's the AD/Utrechts Nieuwsblad in the morning, it's awful but a leftover from the days when my parents got the Utrechts Nieuwsblad for local news; it's about time we got a decent Dutch newspaper, methinks. I usually glance through the Spits or Metro at school, if there's anything interesting there I'll look up more information on the subject elsewhere.

Re: What newspapers do you read
I read the Times, simply because my parents buy it, I'm hardly about to spend my own money on a newspaper, I prefer the bbc news website in general
Re: What newspapers do you read
I read the Independent occasionally, but I get most of my news from the BBC.

Re: What newspapers do you read
Very old joke answers to the question who reads which papers:
* The Times: Read by the people who run the country.
* Daily Mirror: Read by the people who think they run the country.
* Guardian: Read by the people who think they ought to run the country.
* Morning Star: Read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country.
* Daily Mail: Read by the wives of the people who own the country.
* Financial Times: Read by people who own the country.
* Daily Express: Read by the people who think that the country ought to be run as it used to be.
* Daily Telegraph: Read by the people who think it still is.
* The sun: read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as she ... (complete for yourself).

I live in Madison, home of The Onion, so of course, being the hippy-pinko-liberal that I am, it is my duty to read it.
For real news, I read The Washington Post or Wisconsin State Journal mostly for the NY Times crosswords and the various other games inside.

Re: What newspapers do you read
I stopped reading daily newspapers when I moved out of my parents home more than 10 years ago.
German local dailys suck anyway. Superficial blabla.
I prefer to watch 2-3 news-journals on TV, if I have the time.
Some go in-depth while others provide an overview. (For Germans: arte-news, Tagesschau, heute-journal, Tagesthemen, auslands-journal)
My main daily source is the web.
For analog reading I like the "Spiegel" which always provides interesting
insight articles, few pictures and lots of text.

Similar here - most of the daily new I get from TV (heute-journal and Tagesschau being my prime choices) and from the internet.I stopped reading daily newspapers when I moved out of my parents home more than 10 years ago.

As for daily newspapers, we have a weekend-subscription (i.e, Fri-Sun) for the F.A.Z. which is also helpful for the local news
We also get "Der Spiegel" which provides good longer articles on a broad set of subjects (and is more suitable for reading on the way to work than a daily newspaper)
Re: What newspapers do you read
Thinking about it. It's up to my parents, though.
I tend to read a fair bit of their stuff online. It's usually quite interesting.

Re: What newspapers do you read
Well I recommend it, it is still biased as hell but at least they keep it at the opinion-page, unlike de Volkskrant for example who just can't control themselve. Biggest plus, it is an evening newspaper, I don't want indepth stuff in the morning. What the Netherlands need is a decent rightwing paper, de Telegraaf just doesn't cut it for me
Re: What newspapers do you read
Funnily enough I tend to buy the Times because it has some good contributors and I am grown-up enough to ignore/laugh-at any over-the-top right-wing rantings, which are not too common. The Times is also the best newspaper for articles on classical subjects. My favourite online paper is the Guardian, but I also take a look at the Telegraph and the Independent to get a good cross-section of news comment.
