Search for a NEWSpaper

I am going through a phase of trying to find a daily newspaper that I can stomach for more than a couple of days on the trot. For years I read the Daily Telegraph but nowadays it is little more than a joke. Virtually devoid of news (except of course the latest doings of the Barclay Brothers) it can be read from cover to cover in less time than The Sun, and with less humour.

The Times format is maddening. Far too many pages, far too small. Too many sections, most I suspect never read by anyone. Never mind the (fading) quality, feel the width. Very unsatisfying apart from the obits (and sometimes the letters).

So, I am now trying the Guardian. Good format, not patronising, and not bad on news. Shame about the politics which after a week is already beginning to grate somewhat. But at least it is trying to be an adult newspaper, so I intend to persevere a little longer.
