I Get Most Of My News Off The Internet Now..How About You?

For me I get most of the news from TV. Some of the news I get it from the internet...But I still prefer to watch news from TV because I see it. Since on the net it's pure text...

Just like you, the last time I looked at a newspaper was a while ago. I go to yahoo everyday to check my e-mail and come across headlines on my way there. Somehow with the convenience of online access to news, newspapers will somehow still thrive, although not as much as it used to be.

Yes, most of the time I read the news in internet. As I work 10 hours a day with the computer, their is no time for me to watch news after work. Except if I really need to watch it. Internet is my only source during work hours.

Hi Janey. No we are lucky we get at least three news stations that stay on top of current events. But when I lived in Nevada I had to use the net for the news no stations out there would come in where we lived. So I understand how you feel about not hearing the current events. We keep the TV on the news when it is on. Good luck on getting the news on the net.

I use the internet, TV and radio to get my news. If I got the paper, I'd have to drive four miles everyday to get it at my mailbox and it's not worth it. Besides I can read the paper on the PC??? When I watch TV I'm almost always watching the news channels. Once in awhile I might actually watch a movie, but since I have such a low opinion of celebrities, I don't watch many.

I learned about news on TV some days ago,but since i had a computer i have known about news both from TV and PC.

Yes Janey, I too get most of it through internet only... Gone are the days when we would wait for the newspaper in the morning and with small coffee mug, I would read the newspaper when I was a kid... Now, when one needs to know something, one takes off his cell phone and logs on to internet and gets to know the facts... World has become a small village...

Hello Janey, i have my system beside my television , so even though i get news through net i switch on television and see the news for that , so that i'll get total information.

yea,i do.my local if it isn't limited,it's somewhat censored. whenever possible i like to ask locals about the real beef on somethings,because the news often will play something down.

Same here, the Internet is a much better place to get news than TV or radio.

i also get most of my news from the internet. i even earn a little by writing about it my way. however the most shocking news - i get to catch as they are happening on tv. i don't know why...

Major news channels take to sensationalizing and scaring their target audience out of their wits. The "live coverage" part is vital here. The tsunami was broadcast live so is the struggle with the reactors. The potential that the radioactive leaks my reach anywhere on earth scares us, so we watch. That send up the TRP (Target rating point), which is an index of the channels popularity, goes up. The channel makes more money from this. The same is true of the Libyan conflict, With UN stepping in. Burma on the other hand is a poor country, a dictatorship and a closed world due to the censorship of news. It is difficult to get in and has a limited scope for coverage. So it is not a point of interest to the news world and journalism. I don't watch TV except for science channels so I missed nothing. I am looking forward to the "Cause" programming which has started flooding in.

Sometimes i will see a news headline on line before i see it on televsion or read about in the daily newspaper. I seem to be turning more and more often to the intenet for my news resource,.

Actually me too. It's either through internet or some of my friends, I've completely stopped watching news on TV. Not intentionally though. It's just because internet is so addictive, TV has been replaced for me.

we don't get a newspaper and we don't have a tv so we get all of our news from the internet. Of course, the problem with this is that you can't really tell what's true...there's a lot of stuff on the internet.

Yes, me too. Often read news at Yahoonews and nightly TV news but I rarely watch TV . I can't hardly remember the last time I read the newspaper. Besides, newspapers are getting expensive too, and the most of the time aside from the headlines, only the Entertainment Section interests me.

Hello, Janey. Yes, I tend to do that as well. We live in Spain, and newspapers are about 4 times the price they are in England, so we only buy an occasional one as a treat. And the television news is all the same stuff repeated all the time. I pick up stuff from my home page, because all I want is the facts, not some reporter standing there waving their hands about while they tell us exactly what they told us an hour ago.

Yes I do read news off of the internet. Here in our country, most of the information you get are thru the internet. Major newspapers have online websites already thus the information easier to be obtain unlike before you have to go out and buy a newspaper. Nowadays internet is a medium for newspaper companies or any other company to promote anything they have because most of the people today go online for almost everything already.

Hello Janey, I also get latest news online and on my Yahoo Mail Page. I don't get to watch news on tv because I am mostly on the road or at work. I usually read news from my phone or notebook. I guess the beauty of internet and technology, I get to know what is going on around the world.

I get my news mostly from tv. The tv is usually on for prime time news, then we watch the evening dramas/series, and I switch it off after the news and public affairs programs (late night news and documentaries). In the mornings, my father switches on both tv and radio for news (don't ask me how he manages to pay attention to both =P ). I'm a little too preoccupied with other things on the internet nowadays to get news there. But there was a time before when I scanned through the news on the yahoo home page. What is rare for us is to get news from newspapers. Haha. I only get to read newspapers when I get it free with breakfast meals from certain fastfood chains. =P As for the earthquake in Myanmar, we heard about that right away. After all, we are in the same region and part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The conflict in Libya is also big news for us because we have a lot of overseas workers over there. I think maybe the reason why the earthquakes weren't given immediate attention by your news is because they happened in places far away from you (about a third of the world away, right?) and would have no immediate effect on you. Basically, it's a matter of proximity and impact.
