There have been a worrying number of links to the Daily Mail, so I wondered what you all read.

If you read several different papers, which do you prefer?

Telegraph. Good for financial news, and generally well written and well researched articles.

None.

Although I'll admit I do somtimes look at the Daily Mail purely to laugh at whatever racial/xenonphoic/sensationalist tosh they are spouting.

I read the financial times on a morning while eating breakfast (hotels free paper of choice)

But I read the daily mail online with lunch, just for the celeb news, means I can keep up to date with the dross the folk at work are talking about

I quite like the cartoons in the Metro but I never get on public transport or pass through anywhere that has them on a morning

Used to be in the newsprint trade so read what I wanted at work

On my train they used to give out The Times and everyone read it and they often ran out.

Now they give out The Independent - massive reduction in people wanting it and there is always a huge pile left over.

A paper so good you cannot even give it away!

I usually have a quick read of the Metro, on the metro funnily enough. My journey is only a little over five minutes so I don't have a good read, just a skim.

Other than that, I don't really bother unless there are any in the canteen when I have my cuppa before I start work. They would only ever be The Sun or The Star.

Me too. BBC news online, you cant beat it. Video and audio too. Newspapers cant do that.
