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 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.

i also get an email everyday from the Miami Herald with local and global news.
i used to be signed up to another local TV station as well, but they unsubscribed me after i emailed them a complaint, to later sign me up again because i complaint about them unsubscribing me .

Sadly, I get more news here than any other source.
