When it comes to the media, what is your preferred method to receive information and news?

Similar questions: media preferred method receive information news.

Internet I'm a visual person so I prefer reading my news to hearing it and the Internet provides me with articals in a much timelier manner than the newspaper. It is also easier to find articals on topics that I am interested in whether or not the local media gatekeepers think I ought to be interested in them. As for fair reporting, I think that people shouldn't believe that reporters and other journalists don't insert their own biases, and I think they have been doing that for a very long time.

I hope that there are journalists who behave with integrity in their work, but I don't count on it, particularly in issues or events that are important to me.

I prefer receiving my daily news from National Public Radio and reliable online sources. I listen to NPR on the drive to and from work, when I hear "All Things Considered. " If I catch public radio late enough in the day, I am able to listen to "BBC World News."

I find these reports to be the most current and least sensational, and they are global in nature. I also gather information from reliable online news sources, such as the New York Times online and the Washington Post online. These are also current news sources, and are thorough in their treatment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The only time I watch television news is during a national event that is being covered live—for example, election returns; the events on September 11, 2001; the takeoff and landing of the Voyager (first non-stop round-the-world flight, by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager). Even so, during the Super Tuesday returns, I watched the commentary on BBC America. It was even less ready to jump to conclusions than CNN, and genuinely seemed not to carry a conservative or liberal bias. Other than in and around Washinton, DC, local news is hopelessly nearsighted, and even daily national TV news is overly sensational.

------------------------------------------ Finally, newspapers have become obsolete. They are not timely; this goes back to the famous example of the DEWEY DEFEATS TRUMAN headline of 1948, but has been dramatically underscored with the advent of the internet and cable television. They are also a waste of resources; the trees used for creating newspapers could be put to much better use...say, to continue living and providing habitable space for wildlife.

News on internet is quickest Nowadays I prefer to get the latest news and most information instantly from the internet, mostly I check just the highlights of stories. I used to watch news on TV but somehow it became too routine and at times depressing so for my own peace of mind I switched to computer and it serves my purpose nicely. ABOUT FAIR REPORTING: WHERE I WORKED, Toronto, Canada: MY OPINION - Re: established newspapers, not tabloid papers.To believe everything in the newspaper?

Let's just say "not 100% all of the time" - you know, maybe yes, or maybe no. It would depend on what the subject matter is. If it's a story on politics then I'd be skeptical, but if it's a recipe for muffins, I'd believe it.

Actually, I worked for the newspaper for approx. 17 yrs.As a typesetter and most stories were fairly accurate. Mistakes can be made as with anything else.

There was usually a kind of caution with any important written articles because if they were exposing some action not entirely legal, there'd always be the threat of a lawsuit hanging over the company, or the writers upstairs in the Editorial Dept.So if it turned out that they didn't report everything that they could have, they had a reason for it. In USA it might be different, I don't know. Are they less honest south of the border?

I hope not! A hundred or more years ago the press might have been more questionable in what they published since news didn't travel as quickly as it does in our time. .. ... ... .

Yes... that is a good summary. Fair reporting is a thing of the past and integrity in journalism is no longer a reality. On the major news outlets and the cable news channels are the worse, everything is spun into the view of reality that the news wish you to have.

They seem to think you are a moron that will slavishly follow all their distortions, omissions, and one-sided coverage as the truth. If there was even one network that separated the news from the political commentary and opinion (as used to be the rule), then I would just leave the television on that channel. Right now, that would probably be the BBC.

You really cannot go to the Internet as an alternative because most of the blogs also see the factual happenings through their own particular political lens. It is very tricky, and very hard work, to try to ferret out the actual news items from the self-proclaimed pundits, talking heads, and 'panels' offered to you as sources. Anyway, to answer your question, I am reduced to reading the text crawl and to small news items on the Web without all the 'explanation' from some 'expert'..

Reputable sources on the internet. I have a news ticker that constantly scrolls across the bottom of my screen with the current national, world, financial, and technology news along with several select stock prices. If a headline interests me I just click on it to read the related article..

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
