What news sources do you access?I'm 19 (a student), and just out curiosity, what news programmes, newspapers, or/and news websites do you access?
For me...
News programme: Channel 5 News / Local ITV News
Newspapers: Local 'Evening Post'
News website: Guardian, BBC News, ITV News, Daily Mail (I know the Daily Mail is kinda crappy for journalism, but there can be *some* interesting content on there).
Thanks!

Re: What news sources do you access?News channel: I watch BBC News, Russia Today, Sky News and Al Jazeera.
Online: I use www.newsblok.com which aggregates all major alternative news sites headlines on one page which is very useful, I'd recommend.
If I want to find the mainstream corporate/establishment line on things I just use bbc.co.uk/news and for the populist view the Mail online. -

Re: What news sources do you access?I actually use just this website newsmap
it shows only the latest headines and displays it in a very useful way where size is proportional to popularity
the one news source I make sure I ignore/avoid is daily mail simply because I've had nothing but bad experiences when I take their **** seriously, it's almost 100% terrible journalism
