Where do you get your news from?
Inspired by the discussion in my philosophy class. I am just wondering where people get their news from. I am just going to make some examples, and put my own. Obviously I can't cover everything so be as specific as you want. Maybe we'll find some new and exciting news sources.
1) Print - Newspapers, Magazines, Journals
2) Online - Listserves, sites like CNN
3) Television - Cnn, Fox, Local news
4) Radio - NPR, local stations
5) Other people - friends, family, coworkers
Personally I listen to the radio when I can tune it in. Depending on where I am on the road, or how I adjust the antenna in my room, I can listen to NPR and other stations. I read the college newspaper every edition, and I read the regional paper as well as the larger paper from San Francisco. I bogart The Economist at work, and other magazines like "The week in review", "national geographic" and "newsweek". I don't own a TV, so I never watch any news. Sometimes I will check out CNN, and people I know send me articles all the time.

CNN, online (such as msn.com, CNN.com, CharlotteObserver.com and sptimes.com), and usually the local news, if nothing else is on tv, or if I'm home at all.

I get my news online, mainly from the New York Times and a couple of local papers. From time to time I watch the BBC World News.

Depends on what I'm trying to find out about. If it's world events I'll check CNN or Google News websites. For sports, I read the local paper, tons of websites, just whatever I can get my hands on. That just goes for about any subject I'm interested in. I try to find tons of sources. If any of them look thoughtful or well written I'll check them out.

I get my news from shows that have all sides arguing with one another. This way, you truly get the true reactions of all the sides involved with a situation.

You get to hear each spin next to the other which paints a better picture. Unfortunately, on many of these shows, they choose speakers that are so mismatched it's unreal. At some point you just have to look at the facts behind the opinions and make your own judgement.
