| Your news resources Hope there isn't such a topic already, I looked till page 2 and found nothing. I wondered where you guys all get your news from... Doesn't matter if TV, newspaper or the web, just post it! If there is a webpage, posting the link would be greatly appreciated. You can never have too many resources. If enough guys post in this thread, how about creating a linklist? Just an idea.  My resources are: TV: local programmes CNN Europa CNBC Europe Euronews NTV Newspaper: local newspapers Internet: local sites Guardian Unlimited Independent Online Edition > Home WorldNews __________________

| I think we had a thread like this many moons ago but it bears repeating I think. I'm BBC News 24 (www.bbc.co.uk/news), Independent, Sunday Times, CNN and Yahoo news junkie. If I'm abroad, CNN is usually where I head, although in the US I like MSNBC. | |||

| Yahoo News, CNN, AOLNews, and sometimes MSNBC if I'm online. If I'm channel surfing, it's usually CNN and MSNBC. BBC America is great too for a different perspective. __________________ LJ | News & Politics | Battlestar Galactica | TS2 | PS  Watch Battlestar Galactica every Friday at 10pm! [/B] | |||

| Elite Fan  | MSNBC, the morning shows (both American and Canadian), The Gazette (local newspaper), co-workers (I work for a magazine, so it is kinda of our business), CNN.com... and, yeah, The Daily Show With John Stewart. I mean, you have to take a comedy show with a grain of salt, but the opening monologues is always about what's going on in the world. __________________  Sunny "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." avie by Jessie | |||

| Elite Fan | Well, technically, I work for three magazines. I'm a freelancer. But I have a full-time gig with "Reader's Digest Magazines" (Canada). So I work for Reader's Digest and Our Canada, which is... wouldn't you know it, about Canada.  So, neither of those is exactly The Economist or even The New Yorker, but we do deal in news to some extent, even if it is in a more annedoctal format. And, I know, not exactly the hippest magazine to work for, but it's got a solid reputation in the industry and it's just a really great environment to work in. I also work for a quaterly contemporary-arts magazine. But my office is at Reader's Digest. That's my base. __________________ Sunny "The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." avie by Jessie | |||

| Hey, Reader's Digest is nothing to sniff at. The journalism business is tough to break into at all and you're on one of the most famous publications around! Last edited by Lexis; 02-09-2007 at 11:33 AM. | |||

| I get a lot from the Gazette as well, same newspaper as Sunny Other than that, sometimes the Globe and Mail, people email me things, or I check Instapundit occasionally but not so much anymore (his slant has changed, I think, so it's less interesting to me). I never watch TV news. Google News is also very useful (Yahoo News isn't bad, but I'm furious with Yahoo so I refuse to use their enws site  )__________________ (i do not know what it is about you that closes and opens;only something in me understands the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses) e. e. cummings - somewhere i have never traveled | |||

| Google news is great for research as it scoops the same story together from different sources. | |||
