I wouldn't know exactly from your point of view, although like I said
before it is much easier and better reading a TNAUK paper compared to
me trying to look at all the different sections of many South African
papers online. Some of the other problems I forgot to mention is
finding the articles on the sites, and just also generally waiting
quite long for pages and stories to load, tnauk is obviously just much
better.
Another thing I like about reading newspapers is there's just a mix of
different things in it, I mean, you learn or can read about different
topics in one place, you don't have to go to sites dedicated
specifically to a single topic, and there are many interesting stories
that you just come across by reading a newspaper that you just
wouldn't stumble upon otherwise. Anyway the quality of newspaper
Journalism in the UK I think is incredibly high and good.
