Guys, where do you usually go to get the news? As for me, I have stopped buying a newspaper altogether since I get all my news on the internet for the past five years now. Before this, I was a heavy consumer of newspapers. Now in order to save money, I get them all on the internet since even the local newspaper is available online.
When there is breaking news though, I still go to the television. It seems that when there is something immediate, you prefer something moving and talking you into what is happening.

I used to read a couple of newspapers every day, but now I use the internet instead. I don't own a television set, and I never watch the news on tv. I think that the internet is a great way to get the news. If I want to the read the local new, I choose one of the Danish sites and if I want international news there are plenty of other sites to choose from. I like the fact that I am able to choose which things to read, because that gives me the chance to read about the things that I'm interested in. If I watch the news on tv, someone else has chosen which news to focus on and which news to ignore, and I prefer to make my own choice.

Yes I forgot about that. News and content customization isn't done on tv or in print.

I use online to read news. Not only news, I use online to get any information I needed. I usually use this portal: http://www.aneez.com where we get any information and news, regularly updated.

I like reading newspaper, aside from books, magazines, and digests. But ever since I started working more than a decade ago, I seldom find time to sit back, relax, and enjoy reading a daily dose of local and world news and current events.
Now that I'm also married with one daughter for a child, it's more difficult for me to squeeze this in my hectic routines. I'm also a working mom and naturally, I would do what's more important first than engage in reading the news. But I do get my daily dose of current events through watching television.
I guess I would have the luxury of time to engage in my hobbies and those which I love doing, aside from taking care and being with our daughter, when I finally I'm displaced from my present job as a financial analyst in a local bank; and I'm afraid that this will come by the end of the first quarter of the coming year. Hopefully, I'd be able to earn as much as I could before this happens. And, I'm also looking forward to having and starting our own lawful family business which will also serve as our steady means of livelihood, with God's help.
Anyway, happy holidays!

We always get the news from the TV so that we are updated but we do buy newspaper because newspapers are more detailed.
