How many of you still buy the telegraph
How many of you still buy the telegraph? I was just wondering as I have enquired about some advetising and found it pretty steep. Do you look for local services in the paper or do you look on google???

Re: How many of you still buy the telegraph
I think most people who come on here would probably ask on here for recommendations, so probably not the best market research source
I buy the Observer about 4 or 5 times a year, which is 4 or 5 times a year more than I buy the Telegraph.
Unless it's a really difficult one to find I would ask on here or Google

I don't think I've bought one in the last forty-three years.

Re: How many of you still buy the telegraph
I do still get it most days, but not always, i usually still get the Observer too, but sadly neither rag are as good as they once were! As far as advertising goes, the Telegraph would still win hands down over Observer, but its always been expensive, you might as well walk round town with a loud hailer as use the Observer for all the response your likely to get!!

Re: How many of you still buy the telegraph
Growing up we had it delived every night, and I enjoyed reading it.
Now I'll probably buy it twice a year, and it's a two minute read.
I do look at their website, mainly because the comments are fun, such as this one, which made me laugh.
