Classified

Sports

Home and Garden

Travel

Advertisements

Lifestyle (I can take it or leave it; the health columns often provide incomplete and/or misinformation)

International news: I browse through and only read a few stories.

Local news: Business news is sometimes interesting but mostly not. The op-ed page is okay but certainly not a necessity.

Lately I find that the newspaper takes up a lot of my time; I read through it like it's my duty and/or news addiction.

What do you think The Daily Sun offers that I really need to know?
I don't really "read" the Daily Sun in a disciplined sense as I would when reading a book. I just skim the various sections to get the gist. Takes about 5-10 minutes while eating breakfast.

Someone said in an earlier post cost is about 15 cents a day. Go for it.
