Slashdot is my main news source nowadays. I tend to hear from friends when anything else newsworthy is happening.

Wikinews, random internet browsing, heise.de and a certain German blog that has been quite rightfully called a net culture tabloid, but includes sources for all its tabloidesque items, which makes it quite acceptable on my map.

Also general news noise picked up from real-life and IRC conversations, newspapers people forget on the bus and what-not.

Actually I forgot to mention that I tend to pick up the "Metro" newspapers given out for free on the buses here. It's a Swedish ad-driven newspaper, which I believe have spread to some parts of the world, including some cities in USA.

From whatever news links people post on irc/the board(s), pretty much. Also I rarely watch TV news because they rarely report anything of significant interest ("lol lets have a bunch of stories on tiger woods itll be great hehehahaheyeaehnaaahgh*dead*").

I'm with Kev, plus whatever catches my eye when I walk past a random newspaper, and whatever's mentioned in the WikiNews panel on Wikipedia.


And yes, there is a Metro newspaper here in the Netherlands too.

I might be missing something obvious there, but I fail to see where that came from or how it relates to the thread's topic.

Although, I suppose, that's some pretty newsworthy information in itself.

I don't. The problem is that people usually assume that I know what's going on, the plus side is that I can read news from 2004 in awe of what I didn't know happened back then, etc.

Most of what I learn about current events comes from cursory checks of tv news, the Geekologie blog, Cracked (a very reputable news source indeed), people on Facebook complaining, and that one friend I have who always tells me about foreign relations news whether obscure or common.

Talking about American television, I still think Fox News is some big practical joke.

Well, you might as well think that about 50% of America is.
