I do prefer the Globe. That's what I read in college. If money were no object, I'd have subscribed. But I find it is a bit out of reach at the moment. Maybe when I get my finances under better control, I'll swtich over. Maybe I'll do it when the 6-month deal runs out. Who knows? In the meantime, I'm just after the news in general...and in a newspaper format.
Screw it. I switched over already. I find the Star too lightweight for my liking. I need more substance. Plus I need a better business section, as it provides supporting materials for my securities course. The Globe isn't even that more expensive, making it a much better value if you consider what I want to get out of the paper. I miss reading it. Besides, now that I'm working from home I've just started saving a chunk of cash from not having to subscribe to the monthly public transit pass I've been paying for.
