| Guest Posts: n/a |  Where do you get your news? I am writing a speech on the media and news sources and i need some idea of the popularity and the use of media sources generally, so all are welcome to contribute and if you can please specify what type you get it from e.g The Times, BBC, etc. Personally i get the news from the internet and [broadsheet] newspapers (tabloids are rubbish). Thanks |

KOMO 4.  Like Louise said, I don't have much time to read newspapers, and if I do, I just scan it, so I don't really get the full story.

| Aspiring RENThead Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Completely Out (YAY) Location: Australia Age: 22 Posts: 3,709 Join Date: Nov 2006 | Re: Where do you get your news? I skim the newspaper nearly every day (The Advertiser), and usually watch the news on TV most nights (usually on Channel ABC, however sometimes on Channel 7,9 and 10...My dad is obsessed with the news and goes from one channel to another watching it, even though they usually have the same stories)

| EC Addict Full Member Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Winnipeg, MB, Canada Age: 26 Posts: 541 Join Date: Oct 2007 | Re: Where do you get your news? Usually by word of mouth. Someone might bring something up here for instance and then I'll look into it deeper if it is something of interest to me. Slashdot and Digg keep me fairly up-to-date although they are more like news aggregators than sources. I also read the local paper when I have time... Usually on my lunch break at work. |

| Former Empty Closets Admin Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Out to everyone Location: Bournemouth, UK Age: 47 Posts: 13,155 Join Date: Nov 2004 | Re: Where do you get your news? The BBC News website (news.bbc.co.uk) mainly, plus whatever I hear on BBC local radio in the car. If I want more info on a news story I will use the news search on Google and look at whatever stories it finds (regardless of the source).
