Primarily NPR, with a dash of MSN or Yahoo! News.

Google News and text message updates on major events from CNN.com.

The Original An Gadaí

For national (ie Ireland) news I go to http://www.rte.ie which is the website of the state broadcaster but is also one of the best sources for local news.
For international news I will sometimes consult http://www.cnn.com but more often I will go to http://www.guardian.co.uk.

When I'm not tied to a computer, I'll usually purchase The Guardian and/or The Irish Times. I used to have a subscription to Newsweek but found it increasingly bitty. Not much substance for my money. When I'm working fulltime I'll usually pick up The Economist. It has a good overview of the week's news and various inscrutable economics articles to keep me bewildered.

What Exit?

NPR and cnn.com & Google News. Also Scientific America. I can't stand TV news anymore. MSNBC & FOX are too non-objective and CNN is too sensationalistic. The Networks have fallen so far that it is shameful.

I only watch Fox. When I have access to satellite radio, I listen to Fox news.

Nah, just screwing with everyone.

I listed to WGN radio (720 AM, Chicago) for hourly news when I am in the car.

I watch the Yahoo! homepage during the day, and check the Huffington Post often.

I like CNBC when I am driving a car with satellite radio.

I subscribe to Time, Newsweek and Business Week for more relaxed reading.
I also still read the Chicago Tribune. I am, apparently, the last person to do so.

I watch CNN when I travel.

I used to really enjoy the Economist, but it's really expensive relative to the time I have to spend reading it.

I read the WSJ since it's delivered to the office. I usually grab it on my way out at night.

I also do the crossword puzzle in the AJC (it's the LA Times puzzle) on the train ride home and once I finish, I usually read the news. I miss the NYT, but I'm not paying for delivery so it's out of my reach on a daily basis. I'll buy one if I see one here.

For news I generally use the internet. I'll check the Yahoo page and I occasionally go to the Real News Network. I check the Pit of Rage as well.

I watch various local news teams here in the evening until I get annoyed and change to something entertaining.

Yeah, that's the one my husband liked to pick up when he was traveling a lot and had time to read during flights, but he's never wanted me to get him a subscription, because he's picturing issues piling up, waiting to be read.

I read the Chicago Tribune website, mostly, or just troll around the web. If I hear about a story breaking (like from a thread here or a co-worker mentions it, I usually go to CNN first.
