The NY Times (both the actual paper and online), Washington Post (online), NPR (radio), and for TV, a local news channel. We sometimes watch NBC Nightly News, but rarely watch any cable news channels unless there's a breaking disaster somewhere, and in that case it would be CNN.

ETA: and Twitter, by following reputable sources.

I pretty well avoid the news. To depressing, specially right now. BUT my daughter uses : https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ and checks it multiple times a day... and I think, that is part of why she has head aches.

I found, when I quit watching the morning and evening news I was so much more at peace.

Not that one can avoid news... face book is so full of news and fake news..

Moni

NYT, WSJ, Financial Times, The Economist, NPR, BBC, France24, for crazy breaking news, it's CNN.

I'm trying to watch basically the local news right now. The constant 24/7 hour news was upsetting to me. I've quit watching and I feel better. No sense in worrying about the things I cannot change.

I still catch snippets of things elsewhere, but I'm trying to see the humorous side... like thanks to everyone being home, I've unexpectedly??? had three sex talks with my teenagers in about a 48 hour period. You ever know notice how many euphemisms for sex are built into built into tv and and song lyrics? Lol!

Ah, The Economist. I was a devoted subscriber for over 20 years and stopped it when I got too busy to read it. I have plenty of time now and think I can access it electronically through the library. Thanks for the memory jogger!

Otherwise, it's mostly newspapers. Digital subscriptions to NYT, Washington Post, LA Times, SJ Mercury News. Once in awhile now I'll pop into the CNN website, I wouldn't normally. The daily White House "press briefings" turn my stomach and I avoid them.

I didn't watch Hoda live, but the clip where she breaks down crying made me feel bad for her. I've turned off the bad stuff, but she's coming in every day and reporting it. I'm sure I don't agree with her politically, but I enjoy watching her fluff pieces.

My favorite is ABC for news. I do keep the tv on all day (for my dog when I'm out) and I am closely following the news about the corona virus. I'm listening to our governor, our mayor and the President with all their status reports about the most current directives. I'm not fearful, I just want to know the latest about it. I'm doing what is asked, which in our state has been pretty much stay home with the exception of going to the grocery store and use common sense when you do go for the last 3-4 weeks. I try to get a carry out lunch once in awhile to support the local businesses that are trying hard to stay afloat. Actually life is not that different for me since I've been retired for quite some time and used to being at home. I do miss going out with friends but we keep in touch and know we will get together again when this ends. I have no problem entertaining myself. I also listen to NPR when I'm in my car and sometimes at home.

My local newspaper, the newscasts on PBS and NPR, the BBC; and the headlines on my MSN homepage to clue me in to items to research further. Unfortunately I have come to think that the Washington Post is too partisan, as are all the major US cable news outlets (Fox, MSNBC etc) and TV networks. Thanks to my Roku I can drop into other country's news broadcasts also (Germany, Japan, France) and do from time to time.

I use something called Refdesk to read newspapers from all parts of the world along with the links to sites that are not on there supplied by friends in other countries. https://www.refdesk.com/

For news in my neighborhood, I follow Nextdoor, a Facebook police scanner group, the local police, and fire department. Next level up, I watch local and national news on NBC. I scan headlines, on newspapers, in cities, where my children, and grandchildren live. If I started to feel overwhelmed, with the constant virus updates, I don't watch the news, for a couple of days.

Before all this started, I generally avoided the news as all the political nonsense drove me crazy. Currently, I do tune into a local news station first thing in the morning and very occasionally in the evening. And online to the NYTimes and Washington Post.

I do want to keep abreast of what's happening but I do not need to know 24/7. And for the sake of my own sanity, I have decided to avoid discussions here on Houzz regarding the pandemic as I am finding they seldom interpret things accurately or post fake news or otherwise spout gloom and doom I can easily do without. Personally, I do not believe there is anyone who posts here who has an inside to what is going on or what the future may bring and I'd rather get my info from more reputable sources ;-)

Local news, KTRH radio...ABC comes on after the local news here. I watch some of that. Some of the news channels I can't stomach. I am outside almost all day and listen to KTRH on I-Heart.

To watch: King 5 NBC, CNN. To read and I've been doing too much of that....online CNN, KOMO TV ABC, NY Times, local paper, KATU Portland, Vancouver Columbian daily. Little of BBC to try to catch glimpses of what's going on in Europe.

I'm cutting back on the news a little now and leaning towards more of a need to know amount. Overload could not have been healthy.

I read (digitally) the NYTimes, the WSJ, Times (of London) and my local paper daily. I rarely watch TV news but was watching for a while with this Covid19 thing. Too depressing so I've stopped watching TV news at all.

NPR.org is my main source: website for reading articles and I listen to our local affiliate university radio station and podcasts.

I also like to read USA Today and our local paper TampaBayTimes, as well as the newsfeed headlines from across the web on my phone. Many of the national papers with paywalls have made their COVID-19 reporting free to the public right now.

I only watch actual TV news, not opinion/discussion/debate/punditry - that stuff drives me mad 😡

I don't watch the news programs on TV. They sensationalize everything and make it sound worse, or different than it actually is. They will do it even if they have to lie, or make up something out of thin air. They've been caught lying countless times, but they don't care and continue to do it, because their viewers seem to have been brainwashed into believing everything they say. I grew up in a time when news anchors read the news without injecting their opinion into it, or trying to turn and twist things to fit their agenda. It's too bad news programs have sunk to such a low level as they have today.

I'm an independent person prefers to get information from various sources, and then form my own opinion. I don't like being lied to and told I should believe a certain way, and if I don't I'm a either stupid, or a horrible person, or both. When someone does that, they lose all credibility with me.

" They sensationalize everything and make it sound worse, or different than it actually is. They will do it even if they have to lie, or make up something out of thin air.

I understand if you feel this way about Fox News. They really have no news, it's all politically slanted pieces with little effort for being truthful.

I think the mainstream media operations, which remember have separate news and editorial departments, try hard to report news in a balanced way. On channels like CNN, it can be hard to tell the difference between news shows versus editorial/opinion shows because they're shown sequentially without identifying which is which.

I watch the local NBC for local news, sports and weather. Used to watch

CNN for National news...but trying to avoid it like the plague these days.

If there is something "Breaking"...usually then CNN if my local isn't covering it.

I miss the days when the news was an Anchor giving you the news..period. Now,

they give me their opinion. Used to be an old joke that went, "when I want

your opinion, I'll beat it out of you". ;) Some nights I really understand that joke. LOL

I read the local paper on line six days a week (they don't publish on Sunday), and watch the local news every couple of days. That covers issues and happenings in my small city, but barely touches what's happening in the rest of the state, let alone the nation or world. For a wider view we listen to NPR for a couple hours almost every day. We watch PBS Newshour weeknight evenings and occasionally catch the news on BBC America. I love Trevor Noah and John Oliver's shows because they make me think about why the issues are important. Once in a while I click on Al Jazeera.

Then like many of us I suspect, we see things on social media, and evaluate the source.

I'm terribly disappointed in newscasts that repeat the clips I've already seen on line. Sorry, that's boring no matter how it's jazzed up as "breaking news!!!!!" "you won't believe this" "etc."

I generally do not watch local news, but I do watch CBS This Morning, PBS Nightly News, and Deutsche Welle. Kevin has an on-line subscription to The Desert Sun, which covers news of the Coachella Valley. We have been watching local Palm Springs news lately, since we are here and want to see what they have to say. I get weather reports from Wunderground.

Occasionally I go to Hot Topics to see if there is anything I might have missed.N

The news can get pretty repetitious, if you watch too much of it. We don't have cable here, and so we cannot watch CNN, but I watched that only rarely in Los Angeles.

No TV--I've never owned one--but I listen to NPR and trust their coverage. When they err, they admit it. They have real reporters, deep coverage on issues avoiding sound bites. And they have many specialty shows that also cover issues in depth--thinking of Fresh Air with Terri Gross.

Our governor and health director have an update once a day. I watch and listen. That's the only news about COVID-19 I need to know as it pertains to my local conditions. Dr. Acton warns all Ohio seniors to avoid public shopping for the next two weeks of surge.

NPR flash briefings on phone or Alexa.

I avoid fashion and ego shows like GMA, Today Show, etc.
