where do you get your news

[womet]

I usually go to NBC News throughout the day. But they have rolled out a new page format that I hate, so I am looking for other sites. Where do you get your news?

[badtzmaru22]

I was just coming in here to complain about the new site! Gah.

Honestly, I get a lot of my news here. I also read Slate.

[Willis Jackson]

NPR.

My feeling is, if NPR is freaking out, it's probably a big deal. Other news outlets just freak out about everything.

[raangoli]

I hate what they did with NBC News. It would be OK as an app but it's a total failure as a website. I, too, will be looking for a new way to read the news.

[jac]

I was just thinking the same thing. Hate, hate the new website.

[cajunmom]

Al Jazeera America or RT. I pretty much hate all of the mainstream American news shows.

"This is All Things Considered. I'm Steve Inskeep."

"And I'm Michelle Norris."

"Tonight, we're going to discuss the ever-increasing likelihood of nuclear war with Russia and Iran."

"But first, a look at the housing market in Portland, and how out-of-work actors are taking advantage of it to open fair-trade coffee shops that teach music lessons to blind children."

For a serious answer, on weekday mornings I usually read the news section of the Express, which is the free commuter paper published by the Washington Post. It's not super in-depth, but I get a basic overview of world events and local issues. We just got an electronic subscription to the Economist, so I'm now reading that on my iPad as well. When I drove or rode the bus, I listened to NPR, but coverage is too inconsistent on the train.

Twitter and here. I also watch CBS morning news while I get ready in the AM

[countthestars]

GBCN

[luvmagoldn]

CNN, Washington Post and MSN. MSN is for trash news. Although CNN has been giving them a run for their money.

Another NPR fan here. I also read the BBC, get Time magazine, and read a newspaper from my hometown online.

NPR and Twitter.

Facebook and here.

If I do want more details I go to BBC or CNN.

Holy crap, it didn't look like that when I checked it before I left the house this morning!  That layout hurts my eyes and my brain. 

[sarahsas]

I HATE the new format. It is way too confusing! I usually go there and cnn multiple times during the day. Not even going to bother with nbc if it's like that. I like having all of the headlines in ONE place.

[mbcdefg]

Al Jazeera America's Twitter account

If I want confirmation I'll check Reuters and Associated Press

[mccallister84]

Cnn app

[niemand88f]

I used to use the CNN app but the latest update with gigantic pictures make it so I have to scroll way down to find a new story and too many of them are videos now. I prefer written articles - if I'm reading something on my phone or computer I don't want it to start playing a video.

[peachdragon]

Here. LOL.

[Deleted]

Twitter, Eater, and the New York Times Real Estate, Travel, and Vows sections.

And it shows in my ability to discuss current events.

[BeagleMama]

Twitter and NPR.... plus I'll skim my local paper online once a day.

[lasagnasshole]

I don't believe that any of you actually listen to NPR. Nobody called me out on having Steve Inskeep host All Things Considered. He's Morning Edition! Robert Segal is ATC. (I can't remember which show MN did since she took a hiatus when her husband joined the Obama administration. OMG I'm a nerd.)

Their voices are so monotone all their names sounds the same

Segal's voice is much deeper than Inskeep's!

Someone please save me from my nerdery.

[raangoli]

I am really bothered by this change. It's all pictures and now half of the stories are video. They are dumbing down the news. Sigh.

[formerlyak]

Wall Street Journal.

NPR makes me want to fall asleep as they drone on and on. I like that WSJ has the "What's News" section so I can scan headlines quickly and then read more on only what is of interest to me.

I'm not one to point out someone's mistakes.

Michelle Norris is gone, except for occasional specials. She's been replaced by Audie Cornish.

David Green has joined Morning Edition with Steve Inskeep and Renee Montagne and his voice is very deep. When he interviewed TLC, they told him he had a great voice and gave him the nickname "Big Sexy".

Just because we listen to NPR doesn't mean we read your posts!  (OK, kidding.  Well, sort of.)

In all seriousness, I get my news from a combination of NPR, here (more CE&P), the BBC, and whatever U.S. news organizations I have a hankering to peruse in any given day.  But, mostly the first 3.
