The WSJ is good for financial and business news, but that's about it. The well-rounded NYer reads papers as follows:

NYT - National and international news
WSJ - Business and financial news
NY Daily News - Local news and Sports
NY Post - Gossip/trash, maybe Sports
Village Voice - Culture/alternative

I have no idea who reads The Sun. Never seen anyone reading it at all.

Newsday is Long Island-based, so a lot of commuters read that, but it's somewhere between the Daily News and the Post in terms of quality. Then we have the two 12-page freebies that just popped up: Metro and AM New York. Both are pretty bare-bones, but hey, they're free and everywhere. Although the front page of the Metro did once spell the Mayor's name as "Blooomberg." Tut.

So the well-informed NYer reads all those papers.

No wonder you lot never do any work.

..given your credibility, I guess last week would count as months, right?

Of course, it's sad you ever read their editorials.

Hell, I read Guardian editorials on occasion (probably more than WSJ editorials, now that I think about it). I don't let petty partisan ties stop me from reading an interesting piece...

First, Newsday is much better than the Daily News, not between the News and the Post.

Metro is basically the "left" free paper while AMNY is the "right" one.

And Aggie, you have NO idea about the weekend behemoths.

Oh, and lets not forget the NY Press, the rightwing version of the Voice, then we get the Onion on the street, and then the 40 odd ethnic press newspapers like El Diario and Hoy.

Heartily disagree. Just read the Newsday editorial writers to get a chuckle. I'm embarrassed for a lot of the columns they run. And their news coverage simply isn't that great. While the Daily News isn't a paragon, I still think it's better.

That's nice, QUITER!

There are two Ts in "quitter." No wonder you like Newsday, you wouldn't notice the spelling mistakes.

Yeah I do. I buy the weekend edition of the New York Times when I'm feeling rich (it's about 7 bucks here). Still nothing on the Brit Sundays like the Observer.

One great thing about the New York Times is the section with pictures of newlyweds: they're almost always of some crusty old goat who just married some young and good looking tart.

My brother always makes a point of reading the Chinese papers if he can get them: he says that he can't stand the whitey rags.

Good lord.

Wait, is that CDN? In that case, that could be cheaper than what we pay for it.

No lately. Though the Fashio section is their one true piece of fluff section..oh, that and the travel section.

Here in NY they cut the size of the Sunday edition by moving the magazine to saturday- thought I still always await the Week in Review.
