You can read headlines, front pages, some articles online but nothing beats reading your favourite paper with editorials, articles, letters, reviews, puzzles etc etc

I read them on my mobile phone.
More precisely, I read the free ones: Daily Mail, Daily Express.
Others, eg, Daily Telegraph, either require a pre-payment or limit the number of reports that can be read for free.

Although to be fair, you can get that online too.

On the other hand, I usually pay far more attention to the readers' comments, which is almost always in opposition to the paper's bias!
One of the attractions of the DM to me, apart from the fact that I can read it every day for free! (online), is that it is the only online newspaper I am aware of that publishes readers' comments.
