The internet exclusively. I don't get the paper, and I rarely watch the news. I visit our local newspaper's website every morning, and if something major happens I see it on the Yahoo front page.

Usually the internet and TV...simultaneously lol. I have Fox News on all day long and check our local news website a few times a day. We only occassionally get the Sunday paper...and even then, everything that's in it we've already read online or seen on the news so it's mostly for the ads & the coupons

Online - I read the Sunday paper at my parents' house but not really for the news because it's all old by then.
I'm a politics junkie too, so I hit my favorite political sites every day. We listen to talk radio too, so we get the news updates on the half hour - good for local news.

We get the daily newspaper from the city, but I don't always read it. (DH reads it cover to cover every morning.) I read some news online, and watch the local news 2-3x per day... well, listen to it anyways, while I'm making lunch, supper, etc. If I'm up at night with the baby I often flip CNN on.

~No news here. Don't watch it, don't read it. I can't stand what someone else calls 'news'. I wait until I have a question about something(like curiosity over how many babies were born in my county this year) and look it up. I don't like the idea of strangers telling me what I should know. It's infuriating to see reports of "3 Killed in Shiite Blast" when I feel that "3 Dead in Car Accident" deserves the same priority. And that is not in any way an opinion of the war. It's an opinion on how editors choose whose lives and deaths are worth mentioning.And WHY? So advertisers will buy ads and commercials. Big NO THANK YOU! You asked a simple question and got my veiw on the journalism industry,sorry. Must be that time of month, lol!~

I read the headline news at Yahoo and occasionally watch on t.v., but not often.

We get the Sunday paper but I don't read it, I just grab my coupons! LOL
I pretty much faithfully watch the 6:00 local news every night. And listen in the morning.

for local news I check out rustavi2.com once a day. They have a page in English so it's the only local news I can actually understand. If we have news that's really pertinent to me I hear about it from the American Embassy here, but that really only emergency situations.
For backhome news I check cnn.com, but I usually hear about it from family before I get around to reading it.

I watch it (on a local station) a couple of times a day, ABC world news, and watch Fox news as well. I read Yahoo news if something catches my eye.
