I read the google news feature so usually a wide variety of world press. But in real life, well whichever British broadsheet happens to be lying about.

I generally read the newspaper on my front porch as long as the weather's nice.

I prefer sort of weekly summaries and such for general news. Although I do get daily financial news from BBC's World Business News podcast. And then I get commentary and analysis from Bloomberg Radio.
And I watch The Daily Show.

I scour the news every day. I start with the local rag, then move onto the Oregonian, then to msnbc.com, the London times (often papers in the UK have a more rounded view on US stories; they showed the pipeline leak long before any US outlets that I saw), and then the New York Times.

All types of sources. I'll visit newspaper websites (though I still like the paper itself) on a daily basis, as well as bbc, various tech news, game news, etc.

I generally don't watch or read news. If it's anything important or interesting it'll be all over at least a few of the forums I'm on.

Sorry, but I have to ask, do you share a front porch with anyone else? I mean, is it your newspaper?

I read The Epoch Times, the yahoo news feature and occasionally when I see CNN featuring a news story on a High Speed Car chase or footage of a Yeti I feel slightly inclined to listen in.

Google news, whenever I remember to check it, radio most of the times.

I avoid anything resembling the news. My world is so much better that way.

The Drudge Report, The Economist, Truthout, and the Christian Science Monitor are my staples. I also try to listen to the local talk radio shows for local/state news at least a little bit everyday.

I also recommend: http://www.physorg.com/ and http://www.newgeography.com/

NPR and BBC radio.
New York Times occasionally, though I've seem them make so many mistakes that I can't trust them as much as I used to.

BBC and NPR and.... some other sources if it's for niche stuff, or.... just checking in on the mainstream stuff, occasionallyp; as I wait to be allowed to depart a portal like my Hotmail inbox or my Yahoo etc. - which is more and more likely to be cheesey as the years go by. They offer "helpful" advice like...that stories on Lindsey Lohan are "trending" right now etc.

If it didn't make it to Slashdot, I'm not interested.

NY Times, CNN and FoxNews (to keep things fair and balanced...ha!). BBC, the WSJ, and sometimes on my iPhone, USA Today and the Huff Post. I don't know if it counts as news, but I've read Roger Ebert's reviews every Thursday on the Chicago Sun-Times' website since the 1930's it seems.
