Google news, with Alerts set-up for certain topics/keywords.

Boing Boing and Slash Dot, plus whatever I find on StumbleUpon. Digg is also worth a try, I hear.

I’m on a news diet, and I’ve seldom felt better. Or smarter.

I watch the BBC breakfast show from about 4.30 or 4.45am with a cuppa, usually catch Hardtalk, followed by the business news/papers till 6am when breakfast show officially starts. Not at all fond of GMTV, its a bit like comparing a tabloid to a broadsheet, although it has to be said that I’m getting very fed up of watching “celebs” on BBC in the mornings trying to sell their latest book/dvd/etc

Yes. Anything and everything. Then, I defecate the crap that is unimportant or harmful to future growth. That alone tends to make me less FOXy than a lot of people.

Google Reader. I have about 50 subscriptions where I gets news from movie, technology, food, television and other various sites that I read during downtime at work.

I usually read USA Today and the local news online.

Yahoo! News. And the New York Times online when I have time.

I can hardly tolerate what passes for news anymore, so I’ve almost given up entirely. About the only thing I can check daily that doesn’t give me a headache is National Geographic. (Yes, I know this isn’t news).
