I read the Wall Street Journal every day, plus Google News filtered for Chicago.

*you* *and* *out*

Ah, well. Good thing I don't write on a regular basis.

Yahoo news and Google news. And MeFi.

I read the NY Times daily, although with the advent of the internet it has become clear that it is not, and probably never was, a newsgathering routine so much as a timewasting ritual.

I read the weekend papers, mainly to keep up with the local real estate market. I get my news from Google news, what little I do get. Mostly I don't care to get the news, as it usually only makes my life seem worse and I can't see the point in doing that voluntarily.

In the morning online: New York times, BBC, New Zealand herald, CNN and metafilter. At lunchtime at work I read the WSJ, because someone brings it into the lunchroom. From those sources I try to put together some coherent whole for the day's news.

I listen to NPR between when I wake up and when I go to work. After I arrive at work, I skim the first few sections of the local newspaper, the NYT and maybe the WSJ. At some point, I also check a few specialist (i.e., library, literature, pop culture, video game, etc.) news sites. Well, I check their RSS feeds, but you know what I mean. Google News is usually in there somewhere, and, nearly every day, one of my coworkers and I sit around in the morning, drinking a cup of tea and talking about news the other may have missed.

I read the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times in print. RedEye too. There's just something about print newspapers I like.

I read the Indiana Daily Student (IU newspaper) online, and a few other papers here and there.

I don't buy a paper. I usually check CNN.com first thing in the morning just to make sure that war has been declared or something like that. And I usually watch the local and national news on TV in the evening. Anything else, I can usually hear about on MeFi, I guess.

I read The Times (London) online, the BBC, Drudge and, on the days I'm in the office, I pick up the free Metro newspaper that takes me the exact length of time of my journey to read.

Since I got a computer I haven't bought a newspaper, apart from my local rag, which isn't available online.

In New York City, we have two free dailies, both of which are worth every penny. They tend to be flogged rather shrilly at subway stations, with competing paper shillers often seeming damned close to coming to blows.

I read Yahoo feeds on My Yahoo page, Google News and WikiNews mostly but find a surprising amount of my news on MeFi (much to some member's chagrin, I'm sure) and other smaller stories on the blogs I regularly read.

WikiNews is kind of irritating though because its so slow to catch up to what's happening.

But I still read a hard copy of Wired every month.

Online only: CNN, NYT, Canada.com, Google, Wired and MetaFilter (CNN, NYT and Wired send me their headlines). Once in a while I stumble across a copy of The Province but that doesn't happen often.

Wow, it's kind of funny that I didn't even include NPR in my very short list, even though I listen to it in the car to and from work.

online: Google News, NYT, MeFi, Digg, Reuters. Offline: sometimes local news for entertainment purposes and weather. NPR while in the car.

I read the Raleigh News & Observer everyday pretty thoroughly. It is a great deal more substantial than the local TV news-- plus the letters to the Ed. are usually good for a laugh (this is the Bible belt, so Jesus gets involved with everything.)

Then after coffee and the paper, I go on-line.

I usually stop my newspaper delivery in the winter, because my carrier leaves snotty notes if there's even a speck of ice anywhere around, and I can't keep up. Sometimes I buy one at work, because a newspaper is really what I prefer. I often look at the Washington Post online, but that's mostly to read Miss Manners and stuff like that and to be able to gloat about not living in DC anymore. I mostly get "news" from other people -- I hear people discussing something that's happened, and if it's interesting I go look it up to get details.

I used to read several papers a day--a habit I picked up in J school. But now, I skim Yahoo news, listen to NPR when the kid doesn't demand TMBG or "classimal music" and devour Newsweek each Tuesday. Somehow, I manage to know what's going on.

Here's my summary with a very subjective crude scoring:

Cryptical Envelopment:  1.00
me3ia:                  2.33
agropyron:              1.00
stickycarpet:           2.00
dg:                     0.50
gaspode:                4.00
box:                    3.00
sisterhavana:           5.00
jonmc:                  1.25
essexjan:               4.00
fenriq:                 2.25
deborah:                4.00
chewatadistance:        4.00
SLoG:                   4.00
JanetLand:              0.50
jrossj4r:               0.50

...making for an average of 2.5. I scored dead-tree papers higher than online versions.

I refuse to include MetaFilter in this estimation.

As for me, I don't read any dead-tree newspapers, but I feel ashamed of that because my childhood household always had daily newspaper delivery. For a long time, I assumed everyone read the newsspaper.

I get all my news online. I have mostly news sources and headlines on my My Yahoo! page, and I read probably half of them as they appear. NYT, Reuters, BBC, CNN, local TV station all appear on my MY! which is my homepage and that I look at almost constantly when I'm on the computer. I should be reading the local newspaper online, but I don't. I do link to it in my Yahoo bookmarks, though.

There's about 15 different news/current events/political blogs I link to on my Yahoo page, and I generally cycle through them while I'm on the computer.

But I've been going through a slack period for the last month or so.
