How Do You Get Your News?
Ask a Question
I used t o get a daily newspaper but now I get my news from the BBC website or TV which isn't in-depth coverage. Has anyone used the online broadsheets and if which would you recommend? PS, I wouldn't say my politics were centre stage
I use upday on my phone
The problem with newspapers is they are often biased. I want undiluted facts not someone's opinion of them very hard to find
I agree with which is why I stopped buying a paper but miss not having the background, context my news now just seems to be headlines 
I get pretty much all of my news from Twitter.I barely watch the news anymore unless a really big story breaks.
BBC app, sky app and STV app but to be fair I dread ever time it gives me a notification just now 
Mainly the BBC .They are the most trustworthy for accurate factual reporting and their left wing bias for "opinion" is well known and ca be easily compensated for .
I like to watch the 6 o’clock news on the BBC and rarely read newspapers but my husband still buys a Telegraph or Times over the weekend. Gives him something to read while I watch the trash on tv.
I check the BBC news site in the mornings. Occasionally watch the evening the news. Other than that I try to avoid it.
I mostly get my news online these days. A member of my household buys The Sun newspaper, and I'll look through that occasionally, but otherwise I don't bother with newspapers anymore.
I usually watch the news on TV in the background when I'm getting on with something else
Me too ... I don't trust social media so tend to rely on BBC or occasionally radio stations.
I’d just listen to the radio on my way to work keeps me updating with the news and I grt insights of the daily news through social media.
I do like chanel 4 news find they report much more of what is really going on in the world.
I use a few apps usually.
BBC, RT, Sky and Wales Online.
I think that you need a variety of sources.
Twitter and Google both serve what they think I am interested in reading about via all the piles of personal data they probably have from my browsing habits. They have clamped down on a lot of the crap / fake news this year as well with everything that has been going on. If I decide to read more on a particular story, I'll always click on a link that ends up on a reputable media outlet.
TheChimp They all have their faults but having worked for the BBC, I can assure you they're not all a bunch of people with a hidden agenda like some believe. I'd be far more cautious with media companies who rely on clicks for their revenue and therefore spout absolute **** with embellished or fake photographs just to knock up page views. I am wondering what you're going to say about them now though and also who you consider to be more reputable 
Facebook usually on my newfeed by Birmingham live and on Google's round up of news
