Do you e-subscribe? If so, to what?

January 13, 2011 by Tom Grosh IV 2 Comments

A recent Chronicle of Higher Education survey of daily news email subscribers (i.e., e-subscribers), sparked my curiosity as to the prevalence of daily e-subscribers among those connected to the Emerging Scholars Network.

Note:  Please feel free to comment on the topic of the relationship of daily newspaper subscriptions, e-subscriptions, news feeds, word of mouth, etc.  I’ll return to this topic at a later time.  I confess a mix of scanning daily newspapers (when available and time allows, i.e., especially in waiting rooms and when visiting family on a relaxing weekend/holiday), e-subscriptions, news feeds, and word of mouth.  I particularly appreciate the structure of e-subscriptions which include brief summaries of articles and those which indicate “popular articles.”

    I find I read a lot of blog feeds through google reader. I like getting the updates, so i don’t have to check back. Some of these are current events/new style. Some of them are related to my field of work. Most of them are about racism and/or Christianity. So I guess more about my interests than about news or staying informed for me.

      Katelinn, Thank-you for sharing about your communication channels! I have a faculty friend at Pitt who regularly picks up the sports section of the local newspaper. Why? To be sure he doesn’t miss big “local news.”* Likewise I find that conversations with family, friends, and neighbors encourage me to remain somewhat engaged with local/national news, especially what is covered by the local Sunday News and the NY Times.

      Instead of on-line resources, my wife listens to the morning news provided by the local public radio. As I seldom listen to the radio, except in the car when traveling, text appears to be what keeps me “up-to-date.” I am also finding the focused updates provided by tools such as google reader of growing value.

      *A particularly good idea for him this weekend as ‘da Stillers have a playoff game on Saturday 😉
