Where do you get your news?

[R-DEV]Dunehunter · 08-20-2009, 12:10 PM

Out of curiosity. A source of news is something you check with a certain amount of regularity, and with the purpose of checking the news. If I catch the news on TV by accident once a week, I don't count it as a source for me, same thing with me listening to some music on the radio and hearing the news from time to time. Also, if you feel like it, please elaborate a bit. Ugh...forgot that you can't allow people to vote on multiple options. Please just pick the one you mostly use.

For me:

internet: the BBC site is my homepage, for US news I mostly read Huffington Post and sometimes the CNN website, the site of the local state-owned tv for local news.
magazines: Knack (a local quality news magazine, through my dad's sub) and Time, to which my brother and me have a subscription
newspapers: De Standaard, same thing as Knack, a local quality newspaper

BBC is my homepage, and I get pretty much all my news from that. Also I read a mix of the Telegraph, the Times and The Guardian.

I get most of my news from the BBC website.

Although i also read the newspapers my parents get regularly which include The sun (not really news half the time) and my local paper.

The Times London newspaper Monday to Saturday

The Telegraph newspaper (aka The Torygraph) on Sundays cos the Times is not really the same as the Sunday Times, different writers/ style.

Channel 4 News

The Guardian and the Independent are also very good, but I find they just don't have enough news in them.

nu.nl | Het laatste nieuws het eerst op nu.nl

Basic dutch portal for news i guess. And for other news (if you can call it news) GeenStijl : Tendentieus, ongefundeerd en nodeloos kwetsend

BBC News, Al-Jazeera English, The Times and ITN on YouTube.

But the BBC is my main source for news. I sometimes watch France24 (English) and Russia Today (English), and they also report pretty good news.

Fox news is usually on in the backround most of the day. I also listen to talk radio
