Some people get most of their news from the radio or television. Others read the newspaper. Which source of news do you think is better, why?

Isn't it going to vary from person to person on the basis of their learning style? Auditory, Visual, or Kinesthetic?

My primary source of news is the internet with Television as a very distant second.

I don't really read news anymore as I don't think that they provide essential information for me. However I still pick financial news from the internet. I recommend you to read the 4 hour work week by Tim Ferriss and hear what he have to say on consuming information.

Cheers,

None of these for me- internet (written content) first, podcasts second, and free press last. I don't own a TV and haven't listened to the radio in years.

I get most of my news from the radio, specifically NPR.

I don't use any of those. Most of that "news" is irrelevant negativity I don't need in my life. For most people it's a time-waster and is hardly ever actionable. It's more a form of info-crack.

I agree that most mass media news include an unhealthy portion of negative news that just add to the already stressful daily life. I take the news I want to have from the internet, it allows you to trim the negative fat out

i get most well the majority of my news from the internet. Tv is so boring at times. also the news online is sometimes out before it hits the tv.

When people in IRC channels mention news, I click the link. Sometimes I continue clicking on the news site for a bit.

I don't follow any news flow. Though on rare occasions I go to slashdot for no particular reason.
