   I read a lot of local newspaper sites.  All of the NY papers plus Seatte Times. The I hit media sites like Mediaite and Slate.com.  Reuters and The Times of London would be my world news reads.

      Slate I hear is popular; I go to HuffPo on occasion but (as per Conan O'Brien's slamming of them in his Presidential address) sometimes their stories are not great... Perhaps I should use Reuters too actually.

   I read my local news online and I tend to follow BBC for world news because they're better than any US media outlet. I like Slate also

      Yeah so long as BBC is doing its thing the state of future journalism feels like it is in a better place aiming for good solid news rather than entertainment... Guess I'll check out slate and see what the fuss is about!

   I still prefer my local daily newspapers in print, but survey the network  and international websites; ABC, NBC, BBC and OAN.

      Haha thanks for your thoughts- though there are local publications I might see on the train for example or elsewhere, I had actually more or less forgotten about print media as a source of news

   The BBC is my go to for international and national latest news. I read the Guardian newspaper for in depth articles.
   I also occasionally take a spread of news from RT, AlJazeera, Sky and BBC just to see who is covering what and why. The contrasts are stark and very often eye opening.

      Yes I have found comparing news services to be eye-opening, perhaps along with Reuters I could be checking out AlJazeera and, as CJ Kelly mentioned above, the Times in London.. Guardian sounds like a good resource as well..

   Several ways, the first way is one television mostly CBS and NBC.  Then throughout the day if we are watching television and get a news flash.  The other was is through the radio-I have a 75 mile commute each day and listen to the radio when I drive.  The other way is through our local newspaper.  Then online we get news either through Road Runner or Yahoo.  Oh I almost forgot my favorite type of news-the Tabloids.

      I had to add that but really for entertainment-not news

      Everyone likes tabloids to an extent, it's just an issue when on harder news sites...

   I gave up on most of the major networks awhile ago and don't watch TV or read papers.
   
   For news I basically use my twitter account as a news feed. Major news  organizations I follow are Reuters, Al Jazeera, and NPR. There are a number of other organizations I follow, mostly with an environmental focus, such as the EPA and NRDC. I follow a handful of individual journalists who I have found worth paying attention to over the years, and I follow some professional blogs such as Jonathan Turley (law) and Information Dissemination (Naval issues).
   
   I also follow Alternet and ThinkProgress. I don't really like their reporting, but they are at least usually good for pointing out stories of interest to which I can go do further research.

      That's interesting to know, especially where to get updates on things with an environmental focus.. I did used to use Twitter for news too and lost that when leaving (but had been hearing from sites I now visit directly)..
