What other English newspapers are available via delivery, and what newspapers in Korea do you read, and what's your sense/opinion of them?

I am satisfied with the JoongAng Ilbo and its accompanying paper, the International Herald Tribune. The IHT is wonderful. For those awares, it's the international newspaper published by the New York Times. That said, it comes with most major NYT stories as well as regional Asian news.

I live south of the river, an hour from Seoul, near Dongtan, and the newspapers are delivered, bound together, by 5 a.m. each morning. I couldn't be happier about this.

Apparently when I signed up in the early spring a bank error prevented the subscription department from receiving my initial subscription fee -- much less any money from me until today. I evened up with them today.

I miss getting that paper delivered. For some odd reason, the service was crap here (Mapo)

In six months, I've only had one non-delivery.

I read the Joongang Daily, the IHT, and the Korean Times each day. The Joongang Daily comes with a Monday "Think English" insert for young learners. I can always find a taker for that at school, along with most of the back-issues of the papers I read; the kids are (surprisingly) keen on reading Korean news in english. (For the record, there is something satisfying, though, about sitting comfortably in a chair with an actual news-paper).
