Guest Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Wondering if you get a newspaper and which of the main 2 - the Japan Times and Daily Yomiuri - you prefer? I am thinking of subscribing to one, that's why I ask. Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 I prefer the Daily Yomiuri. The supplements are a big plus with that one. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 DY for me too. I just like it better than JT generally. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 Sunday DY with the Observer suppliment is as close to a real paper as you'll get here. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 It's the Independant on Sunday isn't it Davo? I don't get a daily paper - use the internet more. Link to post Share on other sites

nagoid 4 Posted May 11, 2002 Share Posted May 11, 2002 They're all pretty bad. Use the internet! Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 Read them when I see 'em. The DY seems to be the better of the 2. Link to post Share on other sites
cal 6 Posted May 12, 2002 Share Posted May 12, 2002 I don't get them either, but when I have seen them I prefer the Yomiuri. Link to post Share on other sites
eddie 0 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 I don't get a paper either but from what I've seen the Yomiuri seems better. Not impressed with either tho' Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 We get the Japan Times. Not amazing, but just for something to read everyday. Link to post Share on other sites
Brain 0 Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Back again. Yomiuri is better than JT I reckon Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 I've been getting the Japan times for the last 8 months. I always keep a few copies in the bathroom just in case I run out of toilet roll. The observer supplement on Sunday is about the only thing worth reading in it (plus maybe the weather report) I wouldn't get it myself if I didn't get it free at work.

white-void 0 Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 They are both very superficial and throwaway. Stick the the web news sites. Link to post Share on other sites

blinkin'ek 0 Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 I get to read the Daily Yomiuri more than the Japan Times, but they're both kinda throwaway, don't you think? Japan Times seems to be slower on some news items too. Link to post Share on other sites
