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.

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.

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.
Papers well I read the following
Daily Mail
The Times
The Sun
London Evening Standard
and local papers...

Re: Where do you get your news from?
BBC - Google - The Register. And sometimes I have BBC news 24 on at work (So I guess there's at least 1 person who uses it )

Look at the pictures (well there arn't many words) in the Sun for 20 mins on the way to work (then nap  )
Swap that with a colleague for the Times over lunch
Evening Standard on the way home
Web
ThisisLondon
BBC, Google, etc if I am looking for more on a specific story
I also seem to have managed to subscribe myself to the Chicago Tribune which gives me its morning news email each day at about 5pm (that would be 9am CST).

Re: Where do you get your news from?
I get all my news from here.
Most big items of news get posted here so why bother going elsewhere.

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 number of people who read The Sun is worrying. You think it's harmless and fun but give it time and you'll be struggling with words above 5 letters
