rfmcdonaldEarlier this week, a commenter on my post about the Chicago conservative talk show host who got waterboarded and realized it was actually torture was surprised to learn that this wasn't a story of note in Canada. The Canadian and American media environments do tend to cover different subjects, then, at least to some extent, and even if someone like me pays attention to the news it's still fairly easy to miss something.
Where do I get my news from? I use my RSS newsreader to read various news sites--Toronto's Globe and Mail and Star, the CBC, the New York Times and the Times of London--in addition to visiting the websites of these papers, especially the Toronto ones. I frequently use Canada's Google News aggregator for targeted keyword searches, sometimes doing the same at Google News' various Francophone aggregators. I also get a fair amount of my news from the blogosphere, whether on Livejournal, the wider non-Livejournal blogosphere, even Facebook.
Where do you get your news from? Are there particular news sites that you like to visit, any methods that I haven't mentioned above that you use--straightforward Google or Yahoo searches, say?--anything else that I haven't thought of?
