Reading a Newspaper is Cool (Not) and Heres How I Do It

Name: Bryce Pub
School: Ann Richards School For Young Women Leaders

1.) First I search for and actually read is the comic section. I enjoy the cartoons and "larger" easier to read text. Next I look at the Television today section. That is usually all I read. I read quickly and do not spend a lengthy amount of time on either of the sections. I do not like to read the paper because I personally find it boring. The context is too hard for me and the print is too small for me (consider larger text or double spacing) to feel comfortable reading (plus it has an unidentifiable smell.) The papers bland grey appearance gives it a boring look. If it was more colorful, it would make it more child friendly and make me feel more welcomed and at ease reading it.
2.) I hurry through the paper for reasons listed above.
3.) I don't believe in wasting so much paper on something I won't and don't want to read. I keep up with current events through CNN. If I wanted to read the paper though I would look it up on line.
I do not like reading the paper and find it boring, thus the title of the blog. Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback and your honesty! Try us out online at Statesman.com (our news site) and Austin360.com (our entertainment site). The Web sites don't have the inky smell of the paper — I promise :)
