For print, i'd say le Monde diplomatique. For Canadian/Quebec news, the Catholic lens through which le Devoir is projected sometimes makes for interesting reading and there's always the Journal de Montreal for crime & accidents & petit bourgeois outrage. La Presse is boring & superfiicial. However, looking at a bit of all 3 sure beats the Gazoon.
TV is good for language learning because it gives visual clues. The news can be a bit daunting if you are really rust. The problem is that it assumes knowledge of background info necessary for comprehension. Shows that you already know in English is OK -- good in fact.
You need to use the language actively. Moving your mouth to French sounds will help your ears pick up more French. You can refresh/expand vocabulary through reading, but at some point you need to use those words.
