So how do you get your news? Do you watch CNN, Fox News, Sky News, BBC, ABC (the Australian one), etc., or do you read something like the Washington Post, the Guardian, the New York Times, the Daily Mirror, the Australian, the Economist, Financial Times, etc.? Or maybe your one of those newsaholics (like me) that reads everything from China's People's Daily to the local journal and from the Economist to Sports Illustrated.

So... how do you get your news?

News papers, we have three different once in this family. Tv and internet. They all say the same things so I don’t know why I even bother using more than one source.

The Guardian for the Newspaper, or The Times.

Otherwise I watch BBC News, or Sky News 24, or I go on the BBC website for Sport.

The Sun, and sometimes I look at the news online if I see something that catches my eye while passing through yahoo or something.

I don't care a whole lot about news, but I usually get it from the wowway.com homepage or msn if I really care. I don't watch it on TV because the last time I did that, it put me to sleep. *wonders if we have a sleepy smiley* Back in 7th grade we had to do Weekly World News, getting a different story from a different country every week. It was really hard because the only thing the news ever talked about was Iraq. It was really hard to find 40 countries. I hardly ever turned mine in anyways.

I read the Sun on Saturdays, and that's about it, unless ITV news or something happens to be on when I'm in the room, I never actually sit down and say "I'm going to watch the news".

The Sun's subeditior came to our school for a talk last year. We completely pounded him, he had to mutter his way through excuses for the sun's racist attitudes. That was a great day.


But Anyways yeah read The Guardian cos my dad gets it, BBC news on the web if i'm on, Or watch BBC news or Channel 4 news on TV generally. Ooo and the Metro because it's free on the bus in the morning. I don't make a point of reading the newspaper everyday but it's nice to know what's going on.\

read the highly renowned Lincoln Journal Star (heehahaha), plus, while I was in DC they delivered free USA Today (coincidence, or no?) so I am now a fan of that.

Plus, magazines like Time and Reader's Digest. I'm old school...no news at 10 for me. :twisted: Except when my dad watches Good Morning America right before school so I usually watch then...
