My wife and I enjoy getting a more tailored feed using RSS. That being said, I pick up the Metro for the subway ride most mornings to get the highlights and of course, a crossword.

I'd recommend not substituting anything in return and continuing onwards towards a low-information diet :) Bravo for dropping a newspaper.

I have ditched newspapers altogether. I've actually been reading the Globe and Star daily on my BB using Viigo for over a year now. I see articles as they are released by their writers rather than waiting until they are published the following day. Of course things like tech news are better had through blogs that are more up to the minute, however the RSS feed of your local paper is a great alternative to print.

These days, I find myself liking two types of newspapers. The first ones are very good at providing in-depth analysis of current news, they make me think. I put in that category the Globe & Mail, Le Devoir and the New York Times. The second one is the free community newspaper for my neighborhood. It informs me of everything that goes on in the area. Everything in the middle, often a mix of news agency news and pop-culture columnists, now bores me to death. Being a newspaper junkie myself, I totally relate to your experience.
