I have a print subscription to the weekend edition of the financial times, and I love it.
It's quite fast to browse compared to online articles. You can skim a page and quickly see which articles are interesting. And uyou may read things you wouldn't have read online, as it's easy to glance past a headline and read a paragraph of an unfamiliar story.
- Tomte 9y agoWhen I had a weekly newspaper subscription, I didn't just skim, but stress out about what I 'had' to read or 'should' read. Real paper feels graver and more important to me than the web. Same with both Harper's and Lapham's Quarterly, which I really should read some day. Them now being two years old.
- DrScump 9y agoPrint is great for browsing/scanning and reading. Online is better for clipping/saving/forwarding/referencing. For example, I have digital-only subscriptions to a couple of papers, but I prefer to do an initial scan of the print editions.
