Where do you hear most of your news?
My local NPR station. I also try to watch one of my local news stations on occasion as my beau is a producer there....but his show is on REALLY early!
Do you read it in a printed newspaper?
Only on Sunday...and I only pick that up for the coupons, but I glance over it.
Do you tune in to a particular TV news show?
I get on occasional MSNBC kicks where I can't get enough Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow etc. Usually during Campaign Season.
Do you listen to the news on the radio?
Every day. I'm an NPR junkie. I even get podcasts of my favorite programs (Fresh Air, This American Life) for when I'm not in my car when they're on.
Maybe you hear all you need from friends?
I do get a lot of news from my news junkie friend Blair. And I'm amazed by how many stories I get for the first time on TFP.
What are your favorite mainstream news websites?
MSNBC, BBC, New York Times, Washington Post
What are your favorite alternative news websites?
Local political blogs.
Do you find any that are particularly good for international news vs domestic news?
I sometimes like the outside perspective on US politics, whereas I prefer domestic outlets for their coverage of local events/disasters.
