My family always had a subscription to the Herald, along with the Sunday Sun. I'm sure that played a big part in my interest in current affairs, and in eventually becoming a journalist.
When I moved out on my own, even though I didn't have a lot of money I had a subscription to the Herald, along with the Saturday Globe & Mail.
We stopped getting the paper about 10 years ago. I worry that without those physical papers drifting around the house (and without cable for TV news), my kids will be clueless about news and public affairs. I know they'll pick stuff up online by osmosis, but stumbling across that sort of click-bait isn't the same as routine exposure to genuine news.
