I haven't had a newspaper subscription since I have had regular web access... about 13 years I suppose. the hassle of getting my paper (a mile to my mailbox/paper delivery spot) the hassle of disposing of the used content (even with 3 fireplaces, I would still have leftover papers) and the damn inserts! having said that, as a regular business traveler, to include a job where I spent a year and a half of new city every week for projects... one of my first buys was always the local paper.
magazines are a little harder to make that break from. National Geographic is an annual gift from my folks, and the pictures are great, (yes I know you can access it online). Ski and Skiing would be hard to replicate with a reader or online especially if utilizing the manuever articles. American Rifleman comes with NRA membership, I still get one ladies mag in the mail (gotta have something to read in the bath!) and the different magazines in store are hard to resist, especially when I see the recipes and such on the fronts. for me, that is probably the toughest competition for my magazine dollar
