What's your strategy?

i do not have TV so watching the news is not an option... so, I read recent articles online. just read newspapers online. other than that, search for essays on topics that have been in the news (i.e. health care reform). reading essays written by experts is an efficient way to get caught up on a topic.

magazines like businessweek, forbes, health, national geographic, maxim, the lancet, etc.

I set cnn.com as my homepage (specifically the health section). Each time I open my browser, I read a new article. Works fairly well. I also watch CNN everyday. You can also subscribe to WBUR today and get a daily digest of the news delivered to your inbox. Once you start slowly integrating it into your daily routine, it's not so bad.

Watch Fox News, more specifically, Bill O'Reilly. "Fair and Balanced," right! 👍👍👍

👍 I LOVE NPR! My drive to work is literally 5 minutes and I'm surprised how much info and current news I can learn in such a short span of time. IMO, NPR is the best way to keep up with current events if you don't have a lot of time to read the newspaper or want to cut through all the crap on news channels.

Lol. I'm not surprised. Is this the same website that published the fake story of the crazy woman who claimed to have been attacked by a black man who carved the letter B on her face?

you can stream your local station (wbez represent) online, or get podcasts too.

NPR is the way to go. When something I find boring is on I switch to the conservative talk radio stations for a laugh.

also-
Firefox has this little "Latest Headlines" button on the toolbar that automatically updates the latest 40-or-so news headlines. Pretty nifty 👍
