cryptique Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 NPR, Salon.com, MSNBC.com, Freep.com (Detroit Free Press), AnnArbor.com (formerly the Ann Arbor News), PBS (NewsHour), BBC.co.uk, and other websites as necessary (I click around a lot to follow stories). I also endure far more of the local TV news than I should. I don't know why I bother ... everyone, and I mean everyone, on all of the local stations, is a moron. They're more interested in hyping that night's prime-time network shows than providing their viewers any actual news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Speed Racer Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Daily: Startribune.comNYtimes.comwashingtonpost.comchicagotribune.commndaily.com (U of Minnesota's student newspaper, mostly for neighborhood news since I live near the U) Weekly: Oak Leaves and Wednesday Journal websites (weekly papers for my hometown)Northfieldnews.com (weekly paper for my former college town) In the event of breaking news, I'll visit cnn.com, but that's less than once a month - probably quarterly. I don't own a television, which makes it harder to watch televised news. I occassionally listen to NPR when I'm cooking dinner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 - MSNBC (Love my Chris Matthews)Seconded.I also read a lot of news articles on Yahoo, Netscape, etc., but for commentary and political argument, I default to Matthews (and occasionally Keith & Rachel).

I'm a big Rachel fan, but I usually can't watch 2 new shows in a 3 hour time period, unless something big is going down.

Calexico Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is the newpaper doomed? Are people buying them less and less? I only get a paper on a Sunday now mostly. The Times and The Observer. Occasionally, I will pick up the Irish Times during the week but that's about it. I rarely see younger people buy papers either. It's mostly more mature people who seem to feel the need to buy a daily paper. Shame that. I also peruse the BBC website for news. RTE over here as well for a more localised feel.

ih8music Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Is the newpaper doomed? Are people buying them less and less?I have an LA Times subscription that 9 times out of 10 goes straight into the recycle bin, unread. Not proud of that, but accessing news online throughout the day is so much easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
