I log onto MSNBC almost every day, and if there is a big story maybe a few other newspapers on-line. I also try to watch some of a local television newscast and one national newscast every day if possible, but seldom read a newspaper anymore.
When I lived in NYC, Berlin and LA, I always read the newspaper. Now that I live in Las Vegas, I find the local newspaper nothing much more than the same articles I can read on MSNBC or other newspapers on-line. I do pick up the Sunday edition of the LA Times every once in awhile, which is sold in many places here in Las Vegas.
So, other than the SDMB of course, where do you get your news?
I watch the news in the morning while I wait for traffic and weather info.
Sometimes during the day I’ll click on a headline when my browser comes up, or see what Google News is up to. I get an e-mail newsletter 3 times a week that keeps me abreast of news in my field.
Then I’ll watch Jon Stewart for anything important that I missed.
NPR. I wake up to it, and I often have my car radio tuned to NPR.
At present I only buy (and therefore only read) the newspaper on Sunday. I sometimes see headlines on the internet when I open a new browser window. I almost never watch television news.
Washington Post, every day. The only time I watch TV news is election returns night. Seriously, I haven’t otherwise watched a local or network news program in 15 years. And I’m not the impatient type that needs web news fixes throughout the day. Tomorrow morning’s paper is soon enough for me. And I pretty much read it cover to cover–takes a couple of hours for me to go through it.
I work for a radio station, and we have both Associated Press and MetroSource news, so I guess that’s where I get most of the breaking stuff on a daily basis.
Otherwise, I get most of my daily national/international news from “Countdown with Keith Olberman” on MSNBC. I do realize that Keith has an agenda, but the talking heads he has on the program refute his contentions as often as they support it, and he allows that. And he does something I always thought newscasters should do – he calls bullshit when he sees it.
You mean there are other news sources than the SDMB? You lie!!!
Used to be SDMB and NPR mostly. Now that I’ve become a hermit, from my friends who are news junkies, who get it from CNN and Hardball and the like. Then I check with SDMB to see if it’s really true.
Most days I take a study break and read one of the papers in the library. I haven’t figured out yet which UK paper is my favorite, so I just pick one. Today, it was The Guardian.
I also procrastinate by skimming the NY Times and LA times online.
Each weekday, I’ll check the webpages of the NY Times, Washington Post, MSNBC and CNN, plus kinda keep an eye on breaking stuff mentioned here. Nights I’ll watch Lou Dobbs at 4:30, NBC local at 5:00, NBC national at 5:50 and CBS local at 6:00, then one at 10:00.
Weekends it’s CNN in the background, local and national at primetime, plus the entire Saturday and Sunday papers.
Radio in my car: CBC (Canadian Broadcast Corporation) is the default setting for me for radio and I listen most every day on the way to and from work
Online: CBC.ca every day, sometimes CNN, BBC, and here
Television: to the extent that I do - mostly likely CBC (not that there’s a trend here), sometimes CNN
Magazines: periodically (no pun there) for beyond Canada - The Economist, The New Yorker, in Canada - Macleans, and anything else that might catch my eye
Newspapers: pretty much never
