Unfortunately for the last 2 years or so, I don't. If it doesn't get posted on Beyond or CP, or unless someone mentions it at work, I usually don't hear about it

I avoid news and entertainment media on purpose. If it's important, someone will tell me.

I consume a fair amount of podcasts, off topic forum, special interest periodicals and music though.

This will be an odd addition, but the london review of books. Excellent editorials and articles on all walks including history, current events, politics, fiction and non-fiction. The reviews are so in depth and articulate it almost allows you to skip the books! Very highly regarded journal.

As an example:
http://www.lrb.co.uk/v37/n05/john-la...ots-are-coming

Combines history and theory to describe current events and issues

CBC (online, sometimes TV)
Global in the morning, CTV at dinner hour for local news
Irish Times, Irish Independent
BBC and The Guardian for world news/football news

Mostly though, BBC World is a constant on the radio in my car, and I occasionally listen to some BBC World Service podcasts too.

I seem to see NBC Detroit news as much as anything.

Twitter- Then go and select all the news persons or news channels/agencies you want to follow. They are all available and then you only get the info you want instead of a lot of the garbage news that is attached to many of the sites.
You will find a lot of the time the local news people get things tweeted in and it is online long before the news channels even start to report them. News before it becomes news.
