Default How do you get the news?

I am curious. How do you get the news. Do you read the newspapers, listen to the radio, watch television, surf the internet? How?

I find myself reading newspapers, both in the print and on line. I find myself watch my local cable channel for local news and weather, and I listen to WCBS radio an all news all the time station located in New York.

How do you get the news?

CNN when I'm away from home in a hotel or occasionally at the physcians' lounge at the hospital. Fox (one channel down) or CNN Headline (one channel up) when CNN is running commercials.

My Yahoo is configured to serv up some quick headlines, and I usually have headline news running in the background when I'm getting ready for work. Newspapers if I see/hear something that I want more info on.

Paper every morning as well as local news in the am and bedtime. Sometimes the radio in the car during the commute. During the day at work I usually use www.newsnow.co.uk and bbc.

1. I usually just look for ralper's newest posts to find out who died, unusual events from the day before, etc.

2. I also get the NYT online, but rarely find something missed by process #1

3. For traffic and late-breaking headline news, I check KYW news radio (all news all the time)
