Do any of guys have monetarily benefited from reading newspapers?

I have started reading Economics Times for the past 2 months in the hope of understanding the economy better. I don't have any concrete reasons but I was thinking of getting some data points so I can make sound investments. However, this motivation isn't sustaining my interest. I've started to get bored as it takes very long to read the newspaper & most of the stuff I read seems pointless to me (a retail investor). I have not made any financial gains apart from IPO news. Have any of you guys benefited from reading a daily newspaper? If so, what are your rough strategies and techniques to extract insights?
