Where do you get your news?
Please list in orderIn what order do you view your news sources?
Do you pay for subscriptions to any news source?
Do you subscribe to any newspaper, on actual paper?

Me? ...
NPR
BBC
AP
Al Jazeera
CNN

I like having a couple sources outside America.
No paper news subscriptions.
 
first and formost i trust above all others my feircly independent home town newspaper the Otago daily times, NZ's oldest continouse daily newspaper - i read it on line, it has good national and international news but i enjoy the hometown stuff i would otherwise miss

then we read stuff which is the online news that incorportaes a lot of NZ newspapers including the Wellington DomPost, i dont always like it and i do not enjoy its left wing bias, it had lazy junolism and non exisitance proof reading - just because i cannot spell or type does not mean i do not pick up on all the mistakes printed daily , It often reads like it is written by people who have not a lot of real life exspeience or who may not have worked durring the 20th centuary so i avoid all the opinion pieces for the sake of my blood pressure, it is also very Auckland biased grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

i do use both these sauces to post links in threads here

we both prefer TV3 news,- its called newshub or something or orther now
but my tv remote is faulty and i have had to watch the state broadcaster tvnz's news
havnt really been enjoying that

i quite like the UK's The Teleghraph but i dont have a subscription


anyway so i watch/ read the odd bit of Fox news for balance :lol-2:
the actually have nice human interest stories
 
I read free news (I am in US).
Local paper that we have delivered for local news.
Online I read CNN, NPR, Reuters, BBC. I also read Fox News to get the other side.
Also go to NBC, ABC, etc.
All are biased--just in differing degrees.
I am increasingly disgusted with CNN which I find tremendously biased and not very news based--mostly opinion and 'analysis'. CNN is very dramatic.
 
AP
CNN
BBC
and then I flip around tv channels and try to get a mix of network and cable (but I do skip a few tv news stations intentionally)
I don't pay for any news nor do I read a paper newspaper although I do read some online versions if I don't need a paid subscription.
 
There has been bias in news since the beginning.

Different links off Twitter. Does that count?

IMO, news choice isn't the kind of thing that "counts" or doesn't.

News source just vary, as do we choosers. :mrgreen:
 
I'm on a bit of a news break.
Lately all I have been doing is check the headlines on yahoo news then search for decent coverage of the event.
Which is often impossible to find, no I do not want the "reporters" opinion on what happened, I want to know what happened.
 
A paid subscription of The Times and The Sunday Times newspapers in UK, mostly read using my mobile phone.

BBC News via their app on my phone or on TV.

Then whatever local news pages on FB that I follow.

DK :))

I live in Melbourne, Australia when lived in NY the New York Times & a bagel with cream cheese was my morning routine, I have subscribed to the NY Times since l left. I also subscribed to the Washington Post for a couple of years, I still read it occasionally but incognito.
The Financial Review (Australian) is another newspaper I enjoy reading.
 
ABC
New York Times
Washington Post
CNN

I like looking at a variety of sources to get a broad view.
It's all biased so I take it with a grain of salt.

WSJ, NPR, BBC, PBS, Bloomberg, AP
NYT, Washington Post, Reuters
CNN, Fox, Medscape, Medpage, NEJM,

And the majority of the news I read these days is for the Coronavirus thread to share info with those who are interested.

In general the news gives me a big fat headache (boo politics and all the games politicians play).
Who needs that. If I can do something great but if I can't, well, no thanks.

I scan the cnn site for breaking news headlines but I find their tv coverage unnecessarily dramatic. The splashy red graphics piss me off.

I like Reuters and AP.
 
Washington Post
New York Times
CNN
BBC
The Guardian

a very long time ago when i first finished high school i worked there in the middle of the night putting junk mail into the paper as it came off the press. i used to love seeing the news first
it was dark out and cold and i go covered in printers ink but they used to pick us up and drop us home after work and we got double time for monday's paper
my uncle was the publisher, all his family worked there if times got tough and we needed work, always in the publishing dept in the middle of the night
 
I do not read any news most days . Rarely read yahoo or local newspaper online headlines . I think most news sources are either biased or have an agenda . Anything important going on in the world , my husband or teenage kids tell me . I do read a lot though about health , history , cooking , jewelry .
 
I don't watch or read news for the most part...I do keep up with what is going on in the weather and of course I look at our state's covid cases...which is stupid high, but other than that I just don't bother.

This is of course not the bias of the news source but of the consumer of that news source. I know @missy knows this but it is easy to miss. The New Yorker is not super-liberal, imo. Unsurprised that its readers are.

And what does "0" mean on that x-axis? If it is some arbitrary centerpoint, that centerpoint has moved a lot in the last decade.

I get my news from the experts -- the people who win all the Pulitzers =)2.
 
off on a tangent but a lot of good and bad news is flying under the radar with covid taking up so much column space
 
I subscribe to the New York Times and to the Washington Post and read them from their apps on my phone. (No paper subscriptions) I also listen to some excellent podcasts: Please, Go On, Post Reports, and The Daily. It is worth it to me to support good journalism, so I am happy to pay for these subscriptions, and I want to be able to read more than 10 articles a month! (Though I do try to subscribe when there is sale). I like the comments section for the New York Times much better than for the Washington Post. The NYT has fewer trolls and less spam.

I try to read non-English language newspapers but haven’t done so regularly for the past couple years. Not sure if I will make that a New Years resolution this year to try again or not. I probably won’t.
 
NPR (we listen daily & have been monthly sustainers to our local station for ages)
NY Times - subscriber
Washington Post - subscriber
BBC
PBS (I really miss Gwen Ifill)
 
I subscribe to WAPO and NY Times digitally. Also follow AP, BBC, PBS Newshour, NPR online. I watch local news and ABC World News.
 
I’ve really enjoyed listening to Michael Smerconish in Serius XM. He’s truly “middle of the road” in terms of editorially. I subscribe to his newsletter which gives a broad selection of sources every day.
