I prefer to read print press, but I also read some digital press: “Le Monde” and “The Economist”.

From Germany, Italy and France. Alas, there's so much journalistic rubbish.

question "Do you read digital press?".


Yes- lots of publications, in various countries and in various languages. Paywalls can be a problem sometimes. If every newspaper were to charge me a subscription to the whole paper just because I want to read one article, I would be subscribing to dozens of newspapers and would never have time to benefit from my subscriptions. And as often as not, the article turns out to be not worth reading anyway.

The only physical newspaper I read now is my local newspaper. I still like the feel of reading a real newspaper even though it's also online.

Rarely Dec 5, 2023

I skim through my Google news feed on a daily basis in order to get an approximate idea of what is going on in the world, but other than that, I actually try to avoid reading too much news. It's simply too depressing and most outlets are simply too biased to provide news in an objective way.

I usually skim-read at least one or two papers every day in my native English, and occasionally one or two in the Spanish press.
