Do you read the newspaper? If not, where do you get your news? Are you up to date with current events?
I do not read the paper. We only get the Sunday paper.
I still try to stay up to date on current events by the internet. I customized a yahoo page and I try to read the headlines every day to get an idea of what is going on in the world.
What about you?

Usually just the Sunday paper and the rest of the week I listen to the news on tv. If I hear about something interesting in the news I will check it on the internet.

Now no I dont have time since i'm working. My work is at night shift and at day time i'm sleeping dont have enough time to browse any newspaper so i'd rether watch news on television because that is more convenient and faster.

I dont like the new much as it depresses me. I don't read the papers or watch the tv news, but I do catch up on the Internet sometimes.
I think the news is too focused on bad things that happen and just makes me feel down. If anything really important is going on I get to know through friends anyway.

No, I don't read the paper. I also do not watch the news. I will sometimes get it online & comcast. If my Dh thinks something will interest me or that I need to know then he tells me.

I read newspapers every day and also on Sunday, this helps me keep up with what is happening in the world, I also listen to the news on the radio first thing in the morning. I try to see the evening news on television as well. When I am on the internet I also have another browser open on the BBC news site so I can be updated when necessary. The BBC can also send Newflash which pop up on the browsers so that if anything unusual happens then I get notified when it happens.

I read 7 papers everyday.
In no particular order:
Wall Street Journal
New York Times
Virginia Pilot
The Indy Star
The Muncie Star-Press
Washington Times
Washington Post
These are the ones I read completely every day. I also recieve several "diginewspapers" which are actually little more than summary news pages in my emails.

I read newspapers yes.
Mainly when i'm looking for something or to see whats going on but most of the time i use online new resources and prefer them over most national papers. I also watch the news but i wouldn't say i do any of these daily i just check them out when i'm interested.
Kudos.

Yes, i do read the newspaper but not everyday. This is because it is a bit expensive and can't afford to buy it on daily basis.

I tend to rely on TV and the net to get the world news. We get the local paper everyday, but I don't think I ever read anything other than the front and back pages. Our paperboy should really know this, it would make his sack a bit lighter wouldn't it? hehehe.
Cheers.
