I occasionally like to read a local paper wherever I'm traveling. Mainly to read that city's local columnists and the like - not really for hard news.

USA Today (McPaper) is useless. I mean, maybe I'd feel differently if I had a birdcage or a need to wrap fish with it.

I used to like the WSJ, but these days there are easier ways to get Murdoch news if that's what I want (which it usually isn't). If the WSJ is giving inches to Jason Whitlock, then I know its credibility and seriousness is approaching that of USA Today.

I still love getting newspapers when I'm in international hotels.
