I am convicted that I need to catch up on world events. The newspapers here are not too useful, they're all tabloids to one degree or the other; and it's world news I'm interested in. I also rarely get any TV news and don't currently have a good enough radio to make listening to BBC a viable option (the signal wanders too much and it's just work even listening for a few minutes).
For a time I was getting the BBC daily e-mails, and I think I need to reactivate that. But how do other people here keep up?
How do you keep up with news?

I also like BBC, I actually looked at CNN.com today out of curiosity and I had to laugh at how much like a BBC.co.uk clone they look like. Same color scheme, tabs, etc.j
I do have a Twitter account but haven't looked at it in... I don't honestly know. But if you can get news Tweets, it sounds worth a try.

Mostly I harvest headlines/topics from BBC, CNN, Fox...
[It's kinda funny how much BBC...both "real" BBC, and a station BBCA[merica] there is on tv and radio here in the middle of the U.S.]
Then go all over the place online to try and dig up the whole story.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

The radio. Don't watch the television and don't have a national paper, just the local weekly one. If I hear about something and I want to know more I go to the BBC news chanel.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!
