How do you get your news?

[chcarnage]

Pretty much only newspaper. Some webnews for technical stuff but that's about it.

 

[Quasmo]

Fark, Engadget, Gizmodo

 

[swimscubasteve]

Wow, more people need to read the dang paper.

 

[deerslayer]

Where is the option for "I don't".

 

[R Nilla]

The Today Show, The Week magazine, and online sources (various websites, and links from emails or ATOT threads). I did not vote since most of the above as well as "other" apply.

 

[krunchykrome]

I get most of my news from the internet (cnn and drudge.) After work, I watch the news for a little bit. I want to get into the habit of reading the paper daily though.

 

[Kelemvor]

Only reason I get the paper is for the Sunday Ads and coupons. We only get the weekend delivery.

 

[jadinolf]

TV and radio, mostly.

My radio is on all night long.

While it may be true that you hear about breaking news earlier than I do. I liken that exposure to entertainment; sensationalism disguised as information. The "news" plays the exact same stories over and over again for god knows how many hours.

"Yesterday's news" is not at all old news. The breadth of stories alone that one is exposed to by a quality paper is unrivaled by any other news source.

Plus, the crossword puzzle

 

[markgm]

NPR in the mornings, Google News and MSN at work, The Daily Show, and NBC Nightly News at home. I'm highly pissed they got rid of John Seigenthaler, he was the only one who seemed human on that show.

 

[effowe]

Digg, Fark, Slashdot, NPR

Wow! Four people voted newspaper, and only three voted TV. Interesting.

For those of you that don't touch newspapers or watch TV news, do you not trust the reporters? Do you find the format inconvenient? Do you prefer to look at the news you're interested in, when you're interested in it? Or is the timeliness factor a big deal. I would guess it's the deal with wanting to decide what news to consume, but maybe timeliness is a bigger deal than I expected.

 

[Captante]

Online sources & AM news-radio.

 

[bobdelt]

the economists, delivered once a week.

 

[Razgriz]

online. mostly via news feeds from CNN, digg, etc.

By the time a story is in print or on the 11:00pm news its already old news compared to when it gets reported on live radio news & to a lesser degree on the internet, plus theres a lot more of the generic news-feed crap on TV news with every station reporting the same stories.

 

[chcarnage]

Normally I don't care if I get the latest news with a small delay. But I want more then headlines, I desire opinions about, say, the British hostages in Iran (well I could get them on ATPN but they'd be differently founded). Also, I read about issues that don't make it to the headlines, e.g. recent convictions of system critics in Vietnam or the developments in the now-peaceful Nepal etc.
