I quickly flip through the Washington Post each morning as I eat a bowl of cereal. I read that paper in about 5 minutes. Reading a news paper is much much faster than getting the same news online. You don't have to wait for any pages to load. I read every headline, and if the headline grabs me, I'll read the first few sentences of the story to get the idea. If the story grabs me, I keep reading. The newspaper's weakness is that it is slow to break news, They didn't report the assassination until this morning, but big breaking news will show up elsewhere, so it doesn't matter.

You also can't beat a newspaper for getting the local news. Local TV news only reports traffic accidents and murders. The newspaper will report the actual news.
