I should probably put a caveat in here that though my main source of current news is newspapers...it's newspapers headlines that I have emailed to me every morning...same with The Economist as a print magazine...then blogs and other purely internet type sources. I have no idea when the last time I actually picked up a physical paper was.
What about online editions of newspapers? If that's the case, it changes my ranking. I find online delivery to be much more convienent than an actual printed newspaper.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't even think of online newspapers as newspapers. They're just an effort of the newspaper companies to join the internet world. If you can't get ink on your hands from reading it, it's not a newspaper.
1. Wall Street Journal, when I read it. 2. Also Wall Street Journal emails me news, and if it's something I'm interested in I read them. Also people link to online news articles in IRC from time to time, I read those. 3. When someone turns on news on TV, and I may briefly come out and listen for a bit. 4. Occassionally I check out magazines from a library. Usually not current events. 5. No radio.
then i guess one of those "newspapers" as first source should be switched to internet . . . I always read the Baltimore Sun and the Boston Globe online every morning . . . I've been meaning to get a paper copy of the Sun, but its hard to convince myself that I want to spend money to read what I can read for free online. There really isn't a difference in information between the two, as far as I can see.
i should add that "print magazines" are really just one: the economist, which i read cover to cover. my primary source, the internet (google news, as well as directly checking several foreign online news organisations, and that magazine make up 95% of all my news gathering; the rest i only mention because of completism. :) there were times when i've listened a lot to shortwave radio, but the internet has pretty much taken over almost all of that. television is only on the list because i watch some investigative shows; i tend to actually turn off mainstream news.
Naah, left it off on purpose. I was just interested in media use. I also left off "see the news firsthand", which you'd think wouldn't be that common, but you never know...
Interestingly, I read 4 different news sites, read the newspapers and k reads different news sites and listens to the radio and then we discuss so in essence mine really is internet, news paper then second hand radio which if I am then interested I will look up in other media. You also just said news. I read entertainment magazines does that count. that is my primary entertainment news source. Or does a news article that was given to you to read count as word of mouth or other?
