The News

Do you watch television news?
Not really. I'll watch it if it's on but I don't really make it a point to sit down and watch television news.

If so what channels and why?
Whatever happens to be on.

Do you get your news online?
Yes.
If so what websites and why?
CNN for a basic overview, Slate for commentary, and various smaller news sites to get a complete picture.

Do you get your news from other sources(Newspapers, Podcasts etc.)
If so which ones and why?
Newspaper occasionally. I don't have a subscription but if it happens to be around, I'll flip through it. I still read my old town's paper occasionally.

A few more questions you can answer if you'd like

1. What news source do you trust the most and why?
I try not to put much stock into any one news source but I trust whatever details happen to be repeated in multiple sources.

2. What news platform do you prefer?(ex:TV, Online, Newspaper)
Online. Easier to search for and collaborate sources.

3. What kind of news topics interest you?

Anything world news, local weirdness, etc. I do read a lot of LGBT and science news. Only things I don't care for are sports and celebrities.

 

Where does everyone get their news from?
A variety of sources.

Do you watch television news?
Sometimes, yes.

If so what channels and why?
All of them, even the ones I may not like as much, because all of them, when you take them individually and put them all together, formulate a picture.

Do you get your news online?
A lot of the time, yes. But that's because I'm more likely to be on a computer, as opposed to watching actual cable. This isn't always the case, but it tends to be.

If so what websites and why?
No particular websites. I tend to browse all of them, or at least as many as I can, especially if something particularly interests me.

Do you get your news from other sources (Newspapers, Podcasts, etc.)?
Yes.

If so which ones and why?
The local news paper, for one. Also, working in a public library, I have access to an impressive database of news-related articles. Every now and then, I may listen to something on the radio, in the car or in the background somewhere.

1. What news source do you trust the most and why?
None of them, to be honest. Even if they are telling what happened, they may not tell all the facts. Call me paranoid or even a semi-conspiracy theorist, but when I see banking and automobile ads/commercials between news stories, you know there is an angle there.

2. What news platform do you prefer? (ex: TV, Online, Newspaper)
Articles, really. They can be in a newspaper or website. I can accept television, I suppose, if they have some news feed with it. But usually, I find television-based news to be becoming more and more talk show-oriented, and less informative. Needs more 1960s news, when they'd call out the government on shit, like Vietnam.

3. What kind of news topics interest you?
Local obviously, because it pertains directly to me. Worldly news, be it political, social, or even economical. I tend to gravitate towards criminal, women, transgender, and racial-related stories. Conflicts as well, be they an ongoing military operation or "terrorist" activities.
