I love getting the Birmingham News. To me, they do a great amount of coverage of the state and local areas. I like reading the paper for the human interest and state-related stories. I enjoy the photos as well. I think the paper has grown for the better over the last 20 years. The stories have gotten better, and each sections seems to have more substance than before then. To me, this is a great companion newspaper to a national one. I love readng a national one along with this one. I do recommend The Birmingham News.

The Birmingham News took over the Birmingham Post a while back. I thought it would be for the worst, but they have proven me wrong. I love reading the Birmingham News now. It's very organized. I think they do a good job of not only covering Birmingham, but covering the surrounding towns as well. It's easy to read, and I especially love their lifestyles' section. It is relatively cheap for a paper. You will need to check their website for that info.

I have been a long subscriber to the Birmingham News. The Birmingham News, while it has its critics, is a pretty decent paper. I get the paper 7 days-a-week and except for a few cases, the paper is delivered before 6-6:30 AM. Over the last few years, the paper has tweaked some things -- some of it for the better, some with not so great results. One of my favorite sections of the week is the Friday City Scene which they recently changed the layout. The new layout however is harder to read and makes it more cluttered appearing. My husband has liked the new expanded baseball coverage with USA Today-like boxscores. All in all, my day doesn't get started until after I have read the Birmingham News.
