I also read Le Monde Diplo. This is roachboy's fault. Still, I find it gives a perspective that often contrasts sharply with most English sources.
I'll also read Reuters, BBC and The Toronto Star. As I don't turn on my television for anything other than hockey, televised sources don't really work for me. The internet fills the gap admirably.
I used to read the local paper for news close to home. Then I realized how little of it is actually meaningful. Now I don't bother.
