If you love reading the newspaper and love to read about events in different places, this is the swap for you. You will have one partner, please send a major newspaper from your area and a smaller, independent newspaper (can be a free one, just not a real estate magazine or an employment paper). Different languages welcome, I would love international participants. Please be prepared to mail your papers overseas since this will be an international swap. Those with numerous negative feedback will be removed from swap. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to participate but have a question... living in a country with language other than english or french could I send a local newspaper anyway? It is a interesting swap!

Hopefully everyone will realize that newspapers cannot be mailed at the cheap "MEDIA MAIL" rate with the U.S. Postal Service ... they are classified as "periodicals" which MUST be mailed as FIRST CLASS. Just trying to save some people a hassle at their local post office!

I would welcome newspapers in different languages, that's part of the fun!!!! I am a paper freak and will use them up if I can't read them.
Thanks for the tip about how to send newspapers Bubba Smooth.

Didn't realize the postage issue here in the US as I have never tried to mail a newspaper before - so thankyou for the heads up!! I also would LOVE to get a paper in some language other than English or Spanish since there are plenty of those here in southwest Florida and I love paper / foreign language print in all forms as well!! Looking forward to this VERY MUCH! Lee

Hello- This message is for LiLi Ghua. Sorry for the lateness of posting this, but I think I tried before to leave a comment for you, but if I didn't I am leaving one now. Thanks for the papers, I found them to be very interesting and informative. Thanks for going to extra mile to get them in English so I could understand them. All the way from Singapore, that's incredible. Enjoyed them very much.
