Guardian
Times (original one)
Plus an endlessly busy twitter feed
A bit more reflective:
Economist

Local newspaper
Newsweek
Online single sources:

Sometimes, accidentally, the Daily Mail from people who know no better linking to it
Print single sources:

Various:
Google News
Facebook often shows me what my friends are reading in various publications
SDMB links
AP News is my go-to, see-it-every-day place.
For local news I (unfortunately) read the Las Vegas Review-Journal. Fortunately, the Las Vegas Sun is included with the LVRJ now, so I get that too.
I read other newspapers as well, but find that mostly they rely on printing AP stories for anything that’s not distinctly local.
RTÉ
The Guardian
The Irish Times
BBC News 24
Sky News
NY Times online
my local smallish-town newspaper
Daily Kos
NPR
The Five
If something major happened/happens, I’m most likely to find out about it on Facebook first (via my friends’ status’) and the SDMB second.
Other than that, I don’t watch any news (I don’t own a TV), I don’t browse news sites, and I don’t read any papers.
WBBM (Chicago news radio, CBS affiliate)
CNN (mostly online, some on TV)
BBC (mostly online, some on TV)
Chicago Tribune (print, some online)
NPR
Depends on the news.
For local Arizona news, Azcentral.com I don’t watch local news if I can avoid it.
Politico.com for political news.
Msnbc.com for national news as well as the decent sports coverage. CNN.com and the CNN iPhone app for national news.
Financial news, just about everywhere. I’ve got Bloomberg and Reuters at work. I’ll look at Marketwatch and CNBC as well to see what they’re talking about.
I listen overnight to a variety of streaming radio stations, if they have news, they’re usually picking it up from NPR or the BBC.
Paducah Sun
Murray Ledger & Times
Vienna Times
Newsweek
The Economist
NBC/WPSD TV
NPR
BBC (both on radio World Service & on PBS)
That about covers it except for the slow drip of random information from a thousand other sources around me. I don’t read political junk as much as I used to.
News Aggregators are far and away #1
Then:
Wall Street Journal
The Financial Times
Washington Post
Christian Science Monitor
Richmond Times-Dispatch (for local)
For in depth reporting I’ll read a few articles a week from:
The Atlantic
Scientific American
The Economist
I should also sort of advertise a little bit for the Christian Science Monitor. If you haven’t heard of it, firstly it isn’t a religious paper. It was founded by the woman who founded the Christian Science religion because she wanted to create an independent newspaper that (in her mind) would be a stark contrast to the salacious journalism common in her era. Her view was that most of the persecution she had suffered was because of unscrupulous journalists.
I’ll say without trying to start a debate I think Christian Science is hogwash, but for many years the Monitor has been probably the most independent news source I’ve read/observed. Even more so than NPR. Something that used to be very unique is that the CSM essentially doesn’t use wire stories, but does all their own original reporting with real reporters writing real stories. Unfortunately the paper has never been popular, and while I’m a right wing conservative I think the paper would appeal widely to people more on the left end of the spectrum but I suspect in this day and age lefties see the word “Christian” and assume it is some Fundie rag. In the face of mounting losses the Church which provides funding to the (independently operated) paper has been pushing for it to become more self-financed, and because of that it is no longer a daily printed newspaper, but they still put out a weekly magazine.
Reading news is very low priority for me. My meager investments are mostly long-term funds, and I can’t even remember the last time Hillary Clinton called me asking for urgent advice.
Much of my contact with the outside world is from here, SDMB ! :smack:
I do click Google News once a day, click from there on stories that look interesting, and often click onward if that news site has other interesting headlines. I gradually learn which sites are good to click to. The Christian Science Monitor website is good, as are those of Voice of America and Al Jazeera. (I don’t click on Washington Post: it wouldn’t really load at all before I got AdBlock Plus, and even now it wants to bog down my connection loading every javascript it can think of.)
I used to subscribe to International Herald Tribune but stopped, in part because it arrived by mail a week late where l live. :dubious: I don’t make it to the Big City much anymore but when I do I treat myself to Atlantic and Harper’s.
