Sources of Information

[cm husker]

I'm curious where most people get the majority of their news information, so here's a poll.

I made it so you can only select one choice, but if you feel you don't have a majority source, then please note it in the thread.

If I missed an obvious choice, select other and note it, please.

What poll?

[cm husker]

You can't see the poll?

[RedPhoenix]

Now it's up.

[RedPhoenix]

I get mine equally between 4 different choices.

I don't believe you spend 4 minutes a day learning about the news.

Or are you assuming this poll was based on a year timeframe?

[ChitownHusker]

What about internet news that's not a blog -- cnn.com, drudge, realclearpolitics, etc. I put down traditional print news, but internet news would probably be no. 1 if it was a choice.

Also, People Magazine is not really "news"

[Porkchopexpress]

I broadcast the news. How come that's not an option?

I think generally the aggregators should be classified by the typical source link.

And yeah, I haven't picked up a real paper to read in a while, so electronic versions of print news is what I meant.

Cnn.com is kind of a tweener, but I'd go with print on that too.

I actually get mine from wherever I can. Aggregators, official sites, radio. But if I have to read it, it comes from the interwebs. No wasting paper for me, and I don't have a parakeet.

Actually you're right, what takes most hours to understand takes me less than 4 minutes.

If online real media sources are categorized as print, then that's what I use. CNN.com and occassionally WSJ for breaking news. Lots of sources for more in depth coverage.

And of course, Huskermax, for sane, rational, well-informed and civil discussion. It has no peer.

[Red_in_Blue_Land]

Traditional print by far!

[McKinneyTXHusker]

No way could I pick one choice. In general:

• Local newspaper and local ABC newscasts for local news & weather
• Local newspaper and Reuters/AP via my yahoo homepage for national & international news
• Almost never Fox, MSNBC or CNN for anything except breaking news when something big is happening
• HM for Husker news!

[CornfieldCounty]

I AM THE NEWS!

Next week, I will revert back to being only BATMAN!

[RussianRed]

Also, People Magazine is not really "news"

You are kidding aren't you. I hinge on People/US magazines, where else can I find the latest on The Karcrashians!

Actually Cable news for me, then Internet, then Local

[waikikisker]

WSJ, NYT and The Economist (British but most likely the best).

[BARNUM]

i selected traditional print because i use primarily drudge and twitter which are really just links to traditional reporting, even if it is the type that never puts ink on paper

[Huskers57]

I get all my information from the Internet, the only hard-physical papers I get is the Economist and WSJ.
