Where do you get your News?

November 3, 2005 in Editorial | 5 comments

It’s a slower day at work today so I’m trying to reorganize some small stuff around the office. Since I spend a lot of the day on my computer(s) here, the reorganization process usually involves changing my desktop pictures and deleting\reorganizing files and what not.

I was looking through my Firefox bookmarks and started to think about the sources that I use daily on the web to hear about “the news”. As far as technical news goes I have several really great resources, but I currently don’t have many fantastic sources outside of the mainstream ones for finding national or world news (ABC News, Fox News, Drudge report (shudder…), etc.)

So my question is this: Where do you go online to find news that isn’t gossip or consumer based? I hate wasting time on the Internet, and want to try to find some informational news sources. Anyone have any opinions?

do you use http://news.google.com? Google news I think is the faster and easiest way to check the news really quick. http://news.bbc.co.uk (http://www.bbcnews.com), is better than U.S. mainstream news.

Hey Ian :) I check foxnews.com, bbc.co.uk, drudgereport.com americablog.org, english.aljazeera.net just about everyday… I get a pretty balanced newsday out of it… I’m a strong believer in getting my news from different sources, whether left or right (obviously)
I also check socialitelife.com, because I’m a sucker for gossip
