Advantages: Comprehensive

Disadvantages: Costs more than others

Often, on a Sunday, I read a Sunday paper. There are lots of Sunday papers in the shops including News of the World, Sunday Sport etc. It depends on your taste but the Times is aimed at those wanting to read a more serious publication with actual news as opposed to gossip and innuendo. My personal favourite is the ST. ST is owned by the Australian multi-millionaire, Rupert Murdoch's NewsMedia corporation which also owns SKY TV and The Sun amongst other things.

The ST has numerous pullouts so can take a while to read. It's almost compulsory to read the main section. This contains the news at home and abroad. There is an editorial, which is inevitably politically focused and there is the impression that the editor leans towards the right of centre in terms of political thinking.

I like to read the business and personal finance too. The money pages will give you ideas on to how to make or save money and has been a help to Carpetbaggers in the past. Money pages will often give advice about what the best deals are re building society/bank accounts and there are best buy tables for things like mortgages, accounts, credit cards and so on that are well worth a look.

There are pullouts including a section that deals with the Arts. This has all the week's TV listing and is very good for info on movies. Another pullout is on lifestyle and covers home furnishings, wine and the like.

There are other sections including information about cars and travel. I rarely read about cars but like to look at the travel destinations. You will often find useful information on far-flung destinations and how to travel on a budget. The sports section is great, too.

The ST costs around £1.40 these days.

There you go, 300 words on TheSunday Times

Thanks for reading
