For text news, where do you normally read your news? I have't had a solid place to read news lately, but I like to vary my news reading between atleast a half a dozen sites, as I can get a better view on a subject, than just going to one source.
 
I get my news from various sources. However I always check out the source itself. For example? If I see a story trending on Facebook or Twitter, I always check the origin source of the story before I consume the information. If it's CNN, NY Times, Washington Post, etc. Then I read the story and draw my own conclusions from it. But if it's some obscure blog (domestic or foreign) I am very skeptical and in some cases I won't read it at all.
 
I hear it from Online mostly, like BBC news site And I hear allot from twitter. Not very often I watch the news on tv

I've watched BBC international from time to time. It's pretty informative and seems to be very straightforward with little to no fluff.

Here in the uk, we have an news channel from BBC, that's 24/7
 
It is the digital version of major newspapers here that are the sources of my news. Whenever I would see an unusual post in Facebook like the death of a celebrity, I would jump to the news network's website and check. More often than not, the news of death was fake. In the morning whenever I have time, I would be visiting the website of 3 major dailies instead of buying newspapers.

Oddly enough - two celebrity deaths that were reported a few years ago turned out to eventually happen just a few days later. Paul Walker for example, star of the Fast and The Furious films. He was reported falsely, to have died I think 1 week before he actually died in a fiery car crash.

I usually go to Yahoo or MSN, as that's where I used to get my news. Homepages aren't popular these days, but I tend to be old fashioned, anyway. xD
 
I go to Yahoo or BBC for news. I subscribe to some newspaper pages on Facebook as well and articles normally appear on my Facebook news feed too.
 
Sadly, given the media at the moment and the varying stories of different companies, I tend to read a collection of news articles both online, in papers on on TV and formulate my own judgement on the matter than the one-sided one provided by the reporter
 
I read the The Pyongyang Times every morning as it offers me an unbiased view of what's going on around the world.

Yahoo News is actually a great source of information. It's their email service that needs work.

The service appears to work, but it's security that could use improvement... a lot of improvement lol.
 
I never miss a local news here in my Country. My dinner would not be complete without. I always want to be updated daily as much as possible about the world.

I tuned in to TV Patrol and GMA news alternately. If it's a commercial, for the time being, I switch to the other news channel and vice versa.
