Simple enough. There are many ways to get information.

I normally get my news from the internet sites, though I do like to sit down sometimes and enjoy the Boston Globe.

What works best for you?

way more fun that way

Pure Metal gives me the news. :)

now repent your worldly possesions unto me ;)

I am a news fan by heritage;) . On the web, when looking for general news, I look at CNN and BBC websites. I watch the two on television as well, although I watch BBC only a few nights a week, and only for a half hour due to living in the states (BBC America just does short newscasts...right). Actually, I sometimes prefer CNN International over the USA's version, though it depends on the shows and the stories. In terms of paper news, I ADORE the New York Times, as well as the excellent magazine The Week.

Naturally, due to my love of current events, I never turn down a chance to watch The Daily Show:D

Military.com
The New York Times online
FOX News

in that order

i get the news from NSgeneral and the news paper and a few other places....it depends really on what kind of news i am looking for

http://news.bbc.co.uk/
http://www.spiegel.de/ (also available in English: http://service.spiegel.de/cache/international/ )
http://www.zeit.de/

Plus the SBS News every night on TV.

Multiple sources, then compare them. I don't have a routine.

Need I say more?

The most consistently reliable source of news (http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/) ever

That is no longer true! :p

I get my news from NSGeneral. I was quite surprised that it was not on the list.

WorldNewsNetwork (http://www.wn.com/)

Radio & TV news, plus The New York Times Online (which I'd count as a newspaper, not as "Internet"). Hardly ever from the Internet.

Didn't vote in the poll, btw, b/c I don't use one more than the others really.

- 4 German TV channels' news shows (ARD, ZDF, RTL, Sat.1)
- Various online sites of weekly print media (spiegel, stern, zeit, etc.)
- when I'm at home, newspapers and weeklies (see above).

Pravda (http://english.pravda.ru/), where else am I going to be kept up to date on Flying
Rape Snakes Dwelling in an, Apparently, Infinite Bog (http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/378/16500_snake.html)?
Not only that, but Pravda is multilingual, which I find very important in my news, having made their site available in English, Russian and, er, Portugese because the nation of Portugal is really fond of Russia, or something.
Sometimes, I read the NY Times or Post (which ever I can surprise borrow most easily), but I find their inability to get at the real stories (for instance, Pravda's Hard Hitting Interview with Eight Year Old Prophet, Boriska (http://english.pravda.ru/science/19/94/378/16387_Boriska.html)) to be so troubling that I avoid them most times.

CNN (When it's not too depressing)

and Daily Show/Colbert Report

Largely printed material, although a fair amount of news from reading forums like this one, too.

I look to fark.com first and foremost for the news. After fark.com, slashdot, then google news.
