| I give the atrophied Los Angeles Times a pretty throrough reading each morning, skim the Ventura County Star, skim headines and read some stories from the New York Times and Yahoo online, watch the The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer with PBS and a network (I alternate) and a late-evening local newscast. I also tune in CNN when I have the stomach for it. Plus I listen to NPR, KPFK and L.A. news radio irregularly throughout the day. What I would like to find is more in-depth global news from a non-U.S. perspective. | ||||
 | Check out newsy.com for global news with a non-U.S. perspective | |||
| i find al jazeera english (english.aljazeera.net), the global post (globalpost.com), radio free europe (rferl.org), and the inter press service (ipsnews.net) are all good sources of an alternative voice. | |||
| I get most of my very local community information from a weekly newspaper that is based in the town of 4,000 where I currently reside. I subscribe to the nearby Dayton newspaper out of loyalty to newspapers. Very little of the local news in the Dayton newspaper is relevant to me (which is not a comment on the quality of coverage) and I get national news from the Web, specifically New York Times, Economist, BBC and CNN. Increasingly, I get information about issues of interest to me via recommendations from friends and other peers on Twitter and Facebook. | ||||
| All of the above, and then some: magazines, direct mail, public docs. I read NYT, WSJ and local newsppr every day; even so, the challenge is finding quality, accurate, aggregated local information. | ||||
| If some metropolis had the amenities and quality of life attributes of Western North Carolina, I would move, just to be in the bosom of a real newspaper. I subscribe to the Asheville Citizen-Times, which is pitifully reported and embarrassingly edited. I also subscribe to the Transylvania Times, a twice-weekly that gamely provides local news. On Sunday, I drive six miles to pay $5.43 for The New York Times, a carefully rationed four days of substance. NPR, The NYT and Atlanta Journal Constitution online, CNN and NBC Nightly News add breaking news. All that and I'm still yearning for a REAL metro daily in the driveway. | ||||
| I read two local newspapers and skim the WSJ everyday. I watch CBS morning news and NBC evening news on T.V. Sundays, I catch up with more indepth news with the NYT, and as many of the commentary and panel t.v. programs as I can. I read Newsweek dring the week. As I collect my e mail I catch up on most recent news on the internet. For specific information on specific topics, organizations, ect. I use the internet. I receive and read quite a few e newsletters from organizations to which I belong or am interested. | ||||
| Newspapers (LAT, NYT, WSJ, Chronicle of Higher Ed); online (Slate, HuffingtnPost, LAObserved), and public radio. | ||||
| I guess my family is one of the few "two newspaper" families left. We get the Wash Post and NYT delivered still, though I usually only have time in the morning to get through the Times front page and maybe the Post's Local and Sports. That said, I am an omnivore. I listen to NPR. I watch cable at work and regularly peruse the Web on my phone and computer -- usually mainstream sites, but also some blogs. I also look at the NewsHour if we have TV on that time of day. | ||||
| Local daily (Providence Journal), NY Times (hard copy on Sunday, online most other days), Cable news (CNN and MSNBC), and local/national TV evening news (usually NBC, plus 60 minutes on CBS). If traveling, USA Today and sometimes local press. Also, read each issue of Newsweek and Time. Regular listener NPR Radio in RI. | ||||
| I used to subscribe to a daily newspaper, and one day they called me and did not want to renew my subscription at the same low rates I had before, so I canceled it. I started to go online for my news. I use a local newspaper website for Miami, then I use a national one and I look at the headline of a web search site for the rest of the info. | ||||
| I'm pretty much entirely online these days - unless you count face-to-face conversations (which really aren't a bad source of news/information if you travel a lot). I have about 30 blogs and news aggregators that I frequent and spend about 2-3 hours each day pouring through all that they have to say. There is certainly a lot of good work left to be done to convert this open information source to its full benefit, but it is so vastly superior to the newspapers that I remember reading a decade ago that the direction is encouraging. | ||||
| I scour the Internet daily for unbiased information. While I admit it is difficult, I have found sites like Stratfor.com, Politico, to be the most objective. I also try to read and/or listen to/watch a balance of both sides such as CNN and FOX News, In The Pink TX, Daily Kos and a variety of right leaning blogs. I watch local news on network tv and listen to talk radio, both the right leaning and NPR. | ||||
| All of the above, although less TV than the other three. The hardest thing to find as newspapers reduce and condense is local information (not state information, city and regional). Especially local information about upcoming events etc. | ||||
| A combination of online, the local newspaper, the Wall Street Journal, and the Daily Show. Sometimes the last source named provides deeper insight than the others. | ||||
| I just dropped the local paper this week (it's become a poorly put together mish-mash of wire service stuff mostly, things I can get better online), though there is still a local entertainment-oriented free weekly paper that has an excellent summary of critical local news. I watch TV news, but it seems increasingly an unsatisfactory mix of nontroversies, rants, and infotainment all presented on the model of a sportscast. BBC online keeps me up to date with the world. NPR is still good, if stuck in familiar ruts-hardly "all things considered". I miss the comic pages. | ||||
| I find information in all these places: Local news in the two local newspapers and occasionally from local TV; national news from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, occasionally from network TV news or CNN; international news mostly from network TV news, CNN and BBC (TV and online). | ||||
| Google News every morning; NPR when I'm in the kitchen; email from friends; sometimes CSpan Book TV which TiVo saves for me. | ||||

I subscribe to the WSJ twice a week. I've given up on the NYT because their coverage is so biased it's difficult to read or take seriously. Online sources are various news aggregators, especially news.google.com. MY XM radio offers several news stations, including the BBC for an outside viewpoint. For a daily stock market recap I watch Nightly Business Report on PBS. I feel I have access to all the national news I need. | ||||
| With cutting cost I get my news from the internet and TV. | ||||
