Probably 1.5 hours a day, all online. I read the local paper for local stories, the closest metro paper (SJ Mercury News) for regional and tech news and some national news, and the NY Times, the LA Times, and the Washington Post online. Obviously I don't read everything.
One thing I also do is visit a number of news "meta-sites," sites that compile news or links to articles from a variety of sources. I visit the progressive metasite truthout.org on a daily basis, and that sends me on to a number of different papers. The metasite rtumble.com links daily to regional news and political coverage on papers throughout California. And there are other sites that publish their own daily articles, like Soldiers for the Truth or the Guerrilla New Network.
