Which is your favorite newspaper?

[batang uliran]

Title says it all.

My favorite local newspaper would be Philippine Daily Inquirer. They have interesting news, their editorials are generally well-written and thought-provoking, and they have great, great features. I don't understand, though, why they devote so much space for ballroom-dancing (I think it runs during Thursdays?). Sometimes, their news isn't balanced, but that's part of the charm--their anti-Erap stance. :)

My favorite international (?) paper would be NY Times (online). Very, very extensive coverage of news, great editorials, and interesting features.

[Ada]

The Philippine Star. Overall, I think it's okay. I just wish they would cut down on the society pages [read: Maurice Arcache].

[BadGiRL]

PDI... i love their youngblood section (tues, thurs, sat)... it's where young ppl 20s and below get to share their views and experiences about anything under the sun...sometimes the stories are funny, sometimes mushy, sometimes nakakaiyak talaga....

and of course, fearless views. d tulad ng bulletin na halatang sobrang sipsip sa gov't(err..no offense to mb readers out there)

[clawed_out]

phil. star, like ate ada, on what part i'd like to cut, i think it would be the portion of ms. pops f. , d ako ganon ka-emotional kasi eh. ;)

[wolverine]

PDI. i love their expose's.

[Agent 007]

Definitely, it's the Inquirer...

Badgirl: Kahit sino ang Presidente, laging sipsip ang MB sa administration...

[asterisk]

I like this new newspaper The Philippine Post and I love reading this great writer named Roel Hoang Manipon.

[Braveheart]

I would have to agree with you asterisk, Philippine Post is my paper, and yes you are right about Roel Hoang Manipon, one of the best!

[walangdila]

but if i do, i'm sure it must not be the PDI.

[hobbes20]

PDI... pag basa mo ng front page lahat ng emotion nasayo na... minsan magugulat, magagalit, maiinis, matatawa... katawa pictures nilang nilalagay sobra.... tsaka andun idol ko... si sir Pol Medina Jr. ... tsaka 2bu correspondent ang fellow pexer natin... si p-a-m-m-y... :)

Once upon a time in this country, the newspapers generally told the truth. I remember my mother saying "nabasa ko sa diyaryo" whenever people asked her where she got her information, and that was enough proof for most people.

But that was in the 60s, before some very intelligent bar topnotcher became president and managed to muzzle the entire press, causing damage that hasn't quite been fixed up to now.

So I have learned not to trust one single paper. I have to read two, maybe three, and decide for myself what to believe - usually that which lies somewhere in between the opposing viewpoints. I read the Inquirer *and* the Bulletin, and sometimes the Star. I also read BusinessWorld.

For foreign news, I rely on the International Herald Tribune and the Asian Wall Street Journal.

[zimdude]

I have become tired of reading the front page news, it's becoming to pointless to read anyway :) So I go off to the features instead. My favorites are Inquirer's People at Work, Business Monday and 2BU; and Star's Business Life.

PDI has an informative analysis page.

[Apostle]

PDI for its truth and impartiality.
Star for its pomp.

[colet]

the philippine daily inquirer. very bold editorial.

[NewtoN]

Laking PDI ako e...it has been our newspaper at home for almost a decade already...we used to buy Bulletin Today(Manila Bulletin) but those were the days when all I read is just the Comics Page. :D

Aside from the Frontpage, Editorial and Sports page, I also like Inner Mind, Tales of the City, Trivia by Bong Barrameda, Technology Page, Nestor Torre's column, and of course... 'Pugad Baboy' & 'A. Lipin'(and 'Coffee Cats')in the Comics Section. :D

[bluestar]

love the pdi

[dee-dee]

laking-PDI din ako. my father taught me how to read using the newspaper as a grade schooler. personally, i also like the lay-out - relaxing sa mata.

[sea sprite]

PDI and Today

[Rinoa_Akutagawa]

PHILIPPINE DAILY INQUIRER...eto na kinalakihan ko :lol:

[*happy*phantom*]

I like reading Today. PDI is ok but I take it with a grain of salt.

[munik]

The Philippine Daily Inquirer for the content & the format.

[tanya]

i rarely read the newspaper because it takes me too long to read everything. but if i had the time, i'd be reading the pdi.
:D

[hudyat]

Love the Philippine Daily Inquirer

For international papers, there is nothing like the New York Times (the online version) which is my start up page as well... Love its comments and its news features and articles.

[oozbao]

It has to be PDI. I like their opinion pages best, with the likes of Rina Jimenez David, Winnie Monsod, Belinda Olivares Cunanan, Neal Cruz and Conrado de Quiros giving their fearless views. Di ko rin pinapalampas ang articles ni Michael Tan, yung Pinoy Kasi, coz he has this way of combining humor, wit and sarcasm na informative in a sense.

[junh]

The papers I NEVER fail to read everyday...

Local
- Philippine Daily Inquirer... nuff said!

Foreign
- Wall Street Journal (Online)... Probably the best business newspaper you can lay your eyes on!
- New York Times (Online)... They've got excellent reads in their Business, Technology, Sports and Magazine section!

[ibarramedia]

1) washington post
2)montgomery county journal
3)manila bulletin
4)philippine inquirer

[11# UST_guard'98]

The Bergen Record

[rors]

grew up with philippine star. can't compare it with the rest but i'm satisfied with philippine star. i like reading its opinion columns, the young star edition on fridays and the lifestyle section.

[Mr_Mcgee]

singles, chill pare and technocrap.

[CaRaMBa]

None, really. I just read what's available.

[ruff]

PDI online.

breaking news and pugad baboy :D

[curseknots]

philippine star... and my prof makes us read the wall street journal everyday...

[nadesico]

Philippine Daily Inquirer

the only news paper that i read the editorial page

[white_dove]

Philippine Daily Inquirer :)

[thehitman]

PDI's the best! Their Sports section could use more articles though. Hehehe, harap at likod usually ang una kong binabasa eh, tapos saka ko uubusin yung contents ng first section. I seldom get a chance to read the other sections though.

Kung naghahanap ka ng trabaho, bili ka ng MB pag Sunday. Yung classified Ads nila, mas malaman kaysa sa PDI and Star combined. :)

[9six82]

For me, The Philippine Daily Inquirer is a great newspaper. Try to read the column of Mr. Ramon Tulfo at the Metro section and I have to tell you, it's becoming hotter since his latest expose :fight: .

[seth]

like most of you... i like philippine daily inquirer.
i like reading the column of de quiros.
i usually read the paper through the net since i work in an it company. :)

[mya]

Asian Wall Street Journal

:D:p

[renfield]

Philippine Daily Inquirer is the tops!

[cheenky]

i am a philippine daily inquirer baby. i love reading the youngblood column. it's like the filipino version of chicken soup for the soul. pdi forever! :)

[Tessaria]

The Inquirer, no question.

For the Editorials, for De Quiros, for Pol Medina and everything else in between.

[Le_Bread]

i have to admit, laking-PDI din ako, but when PDI went online, sa www.inq7.net (yup, www.inquirer.net pa yun dati) na ako nagbabasa ng PDI. tapos, para minsanan na lang ang pagpunta sa site, dina-download ko na ito sa PDA ko. kung sa bagay, konti lang namang columnists tinututukan ko (De Quiros and Michael Tan).

I like the editorial of TODAY better... it's well crafted and sarcastically funny!(sometimes) atsaka mas gusto ko ang treatment ng TODAY sa news. atsaka yung layout na rin.

[f0r5aK3n]

USA Today because it's colored! :D

[pyrecatcher]

pag Sunday, trip ko ang PDI kasi may Sunday Inquirer Magazine, na may poetry section. Ang Panorama, binabasa ko na lang the next day sa library (lalo kung walang poetry, o kung wala yung tula ko o article). Binabasa ko lagi si Cirilo F. Bautista. Noong malapit pa ako sa may Kalaw, hinihingi ko na lang ang Sunday PDI sa circulation office nila, libre na. SIM lang naman ang habol ko e.

pag Monday trip ko ang PDI uli kasi may arts and design section. nandoon kasi ang mga press releases ng latest happenings sa lit and art circle. binabasa ko rin an Star dahil may art section din sila pag Monday.

Haba no? cheap pa, wala kasing pera ang writer.

[indigo24]

star

[freakster2k1]

definitely abante. i mean it gives u the news straightfoward with no hyperboles... i mean, hanep..

[greenbacons]

for me, it would definitely be the INQUIRER. i like the "look" of this newspaper. di ko alam kung anong tawag dun, layout ba? di kase tulad ng ibang newspaper na magulo.

naninibago nga ako tsaka di na nag-eenjoy kapag ibang newspaper ang binabasa..


:D

[taL]

inquirer!!!

[leoneediah]

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I STILL THINK MANILA BULLETIN IS THE BEST NEWSPAPER. THERE'S NO SENSATIONALISM, WHICH IS THE CONCERN OF MOST BROADSHEETS TODAY. ANYWAY, HAVE YOU HEARD OF THEIR SECTION, JUST FOR KICKS? IT'S THEIR YOUTH SECTION WHICH COMES OUT I THINK... WED, FRI AND SAT. ANYWAY, IT'S REALLY COOL 'COZ THEY DON'T GO FOR THE SHOWBIZ-Y STUFF, AND THEY SEEM TO WRITE WITH PERSONAL CONCERN ON THEIR SUBJECTS. BASTA, IT'S REALLY GOOD. READ IT! IT'S NOT LIKE 2BU WHICH I THINK IS SUCH A KNOW-IT-ALL SECTION AND YOUNG STAR THAT'S FLOODED WITH BIG NAMES TO BACK THEIR COLUMNS (AND I AIN'T REALLY SURE IF THESE GUYS REALLY KNOW HOW TO WRITE. BY THE WAY, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO DISS THESE OTHER PAPERS, IT'S MY OWN OPINION).

ANOTHER GOOD PAPER IS TODAY, ALTHOUGH THEY COME OUT ONLY IN BLACK AND WHITE, NO BIG COLORED PIX LIKE THE TOP 3 PAPERS. HMMM... WHAT ELSE, MAGAZINE, WHERE DID FLIP GO?:D

[pale_pilsen]

although it looks like a magazine, the economist is actually a newspaper (weekly), and a very good one, i might add

[^pusa^]

Philippine Daily Inquirer *okay*
