Do you read stuff online, have magazine subscriptions, read newspapers, word of mouth, blogs, etc.

I mostly read the BBC, the Washington Post, MSNBC, CNN, Crooksandliars, sometimes other websites like Media Matters. I also watch a lot of documentary films.

I could have sworn that I started this thread a long time ago. It must have been on RM1.

Yahoo & Google News are my primary sources. Every now and then I'll read some stuff in Time Magazine.

I'm big into local news as well. Idaho Statesman, and sometimes the Idaho Business Review and Boise Weekly.

i read major news, usually linked from yahoo!, in the morning while i drink my coffee. i read the local papers on my lunch break at work.

i get some news from rm, and some from another board i belong to. sometimes i watch the local news, and sometimes darrin tells me things and then i read the stories online.

other than buying The Age newspaper a few times a week, and the occasional other, i do it all online.

Australian: The Age & The ABC Politics website daily, The Australian a couple of times a week

European: BBC and The Independent daily

USA: The New York Times daily, The Washington Post from time to time, The Huffington Post a few times a week

Plus a few more industry specifice blogs/newsletters, and media monitoring which means that if a bear shits in the climate change/renewable energy woods, I'll hear about it.

Then there's regular Melbourne news programs on tv, plus the World News on SBS...

I'm sure there's more.

Is it bad that the only newspaper I read regularly is The Onion?
