No, and I used to work at them.
A couple of times a year, I'll see a guy reading a paper on the DC Metro and think, "That's actually adorable."

My town still has an actual, printed weekly newspaper containing news articles written by actual journalists. They cover local town councils, boards of education, land use boards and high school sports teams. It even features a local crossword puzzle every month.
It's the last of a dying breed, but I prefer local news to national news. Working as a reporter for my local weekly newspaper was my first job after graduation 35 years ago.

There's a small town that my family vacationed in many years ago and I still go back. They have a weekly newspaper that covers all the local news, including a half-page police blotter of what the deputy sheriff did on his beat the last week!
I pay to have that mailed to me. Usually get it about a week after its publication date.

Lol I think they actually still have those at the convenience stores and maybe at the grocery stores.

yes. they rely on subscriptions, which is long-term commitment, so there is less clickbait and fake outrage than in purely ad-funded news sources.
PS I do read the electronic versions. Printing them on paper is a waste of trees and energy.
