Yes, we still buy newspaper at home - Mathrubhumi. (It is one of the leading malayalam newspaper)
I don't read it often on all days, but some days, I glance through it when I get time.
Though I get almost all big news from the websites, newspaper is still required to get the very small local news.
I read the local surrounding news, followed by all other sections. I don't follow sports much.
+ @hender I don't have previlege to move thread to different section.

Punjab Kesari and Local city newspaper comes to my place.
No one reads it, it is for deep frying and keeping under food plates.

Punjab Kesari style is still spicy 😉, or they changed now !!!
My Experiences
1. Do You Still Get Newspaper At Home/Office. Yes. Both, at home and office. I have been reading English newspaper since my childhood days, circa 1980s - The Times of India (TOI). Sometimes Economic Times, The Tribune, The Hindu, Indian Express, etc. But stuck to TOI since the late 1980s. As someone else also mentioned, I also used to keep a dictionary to learn new words and improve my vocabulary - by writing them down in a separate notebook, then memorising these new words, and then finally using them in my own sentences, in school (essays, homework, etc) or wherever possible and during speaking too. And then feel mighty happy about it if someone complimented me on such new words or better still, asked me the meaning of such words - which I would then promptly answer with erudite glee. This further motivated me to improve upon my vocabulary. Also, sometimes I would also practice my pronunciation and diction by reading many paragraphs aloud, to hone my spoken communication skills. Later on, I got addicted to reading books and this habit of learning new words, practising speaking aloud with different accents and diction, reading dictionary during free time as a hobby, etc continued for a long time, and it has held me in good stead all this while. Later on, have also read many Hindi newspapers (Navbharat Times, Dainik Bhaskar, Dainik Jagran, etc) and even Punjab Kesari for some time, but primarily continued with the TOI.
2. Your favourite column or page... In my childhood days, I would start from the last page - the sports page. Then the editorial page, and finally the main page. Now, because generally the news is already known, through digital apps etc, I scroll from the first page onwards reading a few interesting news items here and there, move on to the editorial page and spend some minutes there if there is a critique or an interesting middle column, and then finally the sports page. And daily play the scrabble/crosswords/etc games which are there (Sudoku, Quick Crossword (not my favourite because it was pretty easy) and Cryptic Crosswords (cutting the crossword and solving it over the week and marking my progress and then comparing with the solutions on next Sunday and keeping a score), Chess ("white to play and win"), Bridge, Scrabble, etc), read the cartoons (Hagar The Horrible, Denis The Menace, The Wizard of Oz, Peanuts, Garfield, etc). Also, spend some time on many interesting columns - like Swaminomics, Mindsport, Erratica (and Alec Smart's quotes!), City City Bang Bang, Jugular Vein, Counterpoint, etc - some of these have been discontinued but are still in my memories! Always read The Speaking Tree for spiritual insights to compliment my spiritual knowledge, etc. So, about 15-20 minutes daily, and more on Sundays or if interesting happenstance is there.
3. Which Newspaper 🗞️ 📰 you/family read.... As mentioned above - TOI primarily.
4. Do you/Family Enjoy Tea ☕ with 🗞️... Yes, definitely. Preferably sitting quietly, newspaper and a cup of tea, especially on Sundays and wintery mornings at home. Still enjoy these moments and print editions, despite all the digital news and apps.
These have been my experiences, in a nutshell. 🙂
Only on Sundays bro, ab vo Bachpan ki aadat hai ki abhi bhi vo page nahi dekhta 😂.
Baaki last page still has some jokes and puzzles and all.
