where do you get yr news?

(i was torn between posting this here or in news/current affairs if it's wrong, sorrry.)

i know we're in the age of social media but i was wondering if anyone still buys their news traditionally or uses websites nowadays?

in my house we still buy newspapers daily, my mom buys the daily mail (more for their lifestyle than their current affairs coverage, she thinks there is better quality lifestyle news and more "reading" in the daily mail than any other paper) i buy the "i" (i think it's a good quality paper for 20p) and we also buy the birmingham mail (though it's a god awful sun-style paper and we only buy it for the local listings and job pages).

i don't really use online news websites unless for celebrity news because i never really know where to look, though if i hear BREAKING NEWS anywhere (mainly on twitter: e.g whitney houston's death) the first page i load is BBC news for confirmation.

I won't go in to more details about how lovely it is back home and how rotten it is in Québec like I seem to do on every other post (I need to get over it already) so I will just note that I read La Presse when I want news from this part of the world and use the internet for mostly everything else. I have always liked France 24. I also read celebrity gossip and stuff. If I am still interested in more, Wikipédia has nice news coverage of major events and the American CNN and the British BBC are good choices as well.

I have a flick through the Metro on my iPad each morning and usually pick up The Times or The Telegraph in the school library if I have no homework to do!

Buy newspapers. Talking about newspapers, i have to read 3 different languages of newspapers learning multiple languages is difficult

I only see the news when my mums watching bbc breakfast when I wake up. I only watch the headlines.

I mostly read it online, from bbc news & digitalspy. I do read the paper occasionally, but I don't really find the need anymore.

I don't watch the news, or read a newpaper. I discover most of the news through word of mouth, what's trending on twitter and what's on the MSN homepage when I log out of my email.
