Whats your newspaper preference?

**razor** · 21/06/2005, 1:36 PM

Evening Echo on selected days mostly for City coverage.

Never read or buy a tabloid. In work people get the Times and the Indo to the desk so I read bits of both. The Ticket always gets a reading on Friday. On a Sunday if I am in the shop I will either buy the Tribune, Sunday Business Post or the Indeo. I don't really rate the Independent too highly or the Post. Usually i read online news, selecting articles from all papers and news sites.

How do people feel about local newspapers? Good read or just a gossip rag?

**anto eile** · 21/06/2005, 1:42 PM

broadsheets are all right wing rags. tabloids are jsut rubbosh-any newspaper that consider big brother or celbrity love island as "news" is as bad a sthe comical us paper the national enquirer.
i dont like ANY irish paper.they all have some agenda.
the only one i would be intersted in is Daily Ireland-yes i know it has a nationalist left-wing agenda,but its bluntly honest about it,and theres nothing wrong with that view either

The guardian is good but takes an eternity to get through. Hate the other Brit paper especially the vile Express and Mail. Irish News proabably the best for sport with the Derry Journal a must for City news.

i cant read so i dont have to worry about buying papers. one great thing about being illiterate.

The Sun over here almost always has the eL results, which is handy if you're stuck. A quick read in the shop will do, you don't need to buy it.

has anyone thought of creating a website dedicated to coverage of the matches in the el and division 1.

Irish Times. On Sunday I scan all the papers as I work in a newsagents. I also get the Economist every week for a handy review of goings on around the world.

I'll usually have a quick read of the Southern Star when I'm at home.
Other than that, I suppose you could say the Evening Echo is as local as it gets.

I thought I was the only Paddy in the village.

He asked if I wanted a copy but I declined, stating that I didn't need to buy it because I'm "proper Irish."

The Examiner would be my paper of choice but I get The Star a fair bit too especially on a Monday or around an international match and usually glance through the Indo and The Guardian on the net.

On Sundays its usually The Tribune or The Times. The Star on Sunday is the biggest heap of crap ever.

**pete** · 21/06/2005, 3:40 PM

All newspapers that report NEWS have their own agenda or angle. UK papers are worse than irish.

Tabloids are only good for some sports & the pictures.

The Evening echo in Cork is shockingly bad. I got it last time in Cork & was just pictures of people at festivals & some sort of school outing. I'd finished "reading" it in 10 minutes.

**Babysis** · 21/06/2005, 3:41 PM

I like the irish post and the irish world - were very good to me, helping me publicise my dissertation. Always good to see who is drunk at various county do's

**carrickharp** · 21/06/2005, 3:52 PM

Get the Star every day this past 5 or so years just a habbit I suppose, as for the Orish Mirror and Sun - Rags

Agree with all the above. I buy the Guardian most days, I have to as i study Poltics, and they provide the clearest acounts IMO.

Tabloids=sh�te.

**onenilgameover** · 21/06/2005, 6:26 PM

The Irish Times and then the Star if i'm hungover or if im feelin stupid and they haven't said anything ridiculous in the past while....

**hamish** · 21/06/2005, 6:43 PM

The Guardian every day and Observer on Sundays. If Uk Independent is available I get that too but it's hard to get/delievery is poor even when ordered. The Star if there's a big Irish match on and on Tuesday for junior/schoolboy footie.

Can't stand most Irish papers. Last Sunday's sports pages in Turbine had five or six pages to start with on eggball, then pages on Gaa, then golf, then more eggball - and that's from just a glance in the shop!!!

I wonder if they've heard of football in Faggot Street.

The Mirror and the Sun are rags but the Star isn't?

**Partizan** · 21/06/2005, 8:46 PM

I gets the Irish Times (even though I hate that Unionist b0ll0x Kevin Myers with a passion) and the Star for eL coverage. I also take a peek for the Waterford News & Star for the latest on the Blues.

When I was in England, it was the Morning Star for me.

**�anna** · 21/06/2005, 8:51 PM

I buy the Sun nearly every day, simply because it has the best coverage of the eircom League. I also read the Irish Times most days. At weekends I usually get the Sunday World, cos its easy to read at work- nothing too taxing on the brain!- but nearly always read the Tribune as well. Like to read the Phoenix as well, and read the Guardian and the Examiner the odd time. Usually get the Echo the day after a city game as well.
