Where do you get your news from?
 

Since most people here seem able to substantiate there claims with some sort of background, where do you get your news from?

What websites do you use? Radio Stations? Newspapers? TV?

Personally, I visit the BBC website every so often... I don't watch much news on TV, and if I do.. It's usually the BBC again. Newspapers... As part of a course im doing, I've started reading a few broadsheets.. The times, etc.. But if its recreational.. I love reading The mirror, or Sun for a laugh. I tend to try not to base claims around these papers though.

So where do you get your news from, and why?

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

The evening news normally.

I have picked a number of stories up from the threads here before seeing them on the news.

The wars and all this fuss about terrorism have killed the news for me - I no longer bother. I read the local rag to find out who's been banged up, who's killed who, who's dead, and so on. I did used to use both Google and the BBC site - I occasionally dip in for technology news but that's all. The BCS send me an email every so oft with technology news and I glance at that.

Not really TV anymore. Watch very little news if any.

Probably BBC, Sky News and various specific sports channels like ccfc.co.uk, Teamtalk and Sky Sports News.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

1st thing in the morning, driving to work - Today, BBC Radio4
At work - at least two national daily newspapers during our morning Press summary, usually The Inde and the Guardian or Tele.
After that - in and out of news.bbc.co.uk all day, which is my IE homepage, and especially the Sci/nature and tech sections.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

24 hour TV news channels like BBC,Sky,CNN,ITV News.

Sometimes off the internet particularly at bbc.co.uk and whatever links CF come up with.

Sometimes if I'm totally bored I may read whatever newspaper hubby has dragged home(usually what he has found on the train).

The Portsmouth Evening News headlines from time to time(especially if I'm visiting the local takeaways)and the local,local free rag (The Journal,Thursdays)for the area Portsmouth to Southampton which truly gives the real local news of the local villages.

That's it basically.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

You have a 'press summary' what job do you do?

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

Yeah I know, but it supplys the news ok though ... :D

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

Specifically, online communications, which means overseeing the company intranet and corporate website. But I'm based within the corporate affairs department, which includes public relations, so we all share the task of reading through all the papers each morning taking cuttings relating to our company, or our industry sector in general.

Re: Where do you get your news from?
 

I get my news from a number of different places depending on my mood. At the moment my favorite site is http://www.reuters.co.uk/ but i do use sky and at a push the bbc site, I also pop my head into google and if there is a story in another country that I want to find out more abt I tend to go to one fo there own websites.
