We also subscribe to the Register Guard, Newsweek and First Things. My friend Brad Boydston's blog often has interesting tidbits from all over- stuff ranging from the Economist to Christianity Today to the WSJ to the Sacramento Bee to the Atlantic to The Local: Sweden's News in English.Beth Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00080711997032932991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486325429771539945.post-3131323655595259802011-03-23T15:57:30.356-07:002011-03-23T15:57:30.356-07:00Also, as silly as it sounds, I also keep up with c...Also, as silly as it sounds, I also keep up with current topics via snippets from late night talk shows (Jimmy Fallon), SNL, and the occasional Colbert Report.Amber K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17633115870758894127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486325429771539945.post-59135924757298997602011-03-23T15:56:04.173-07:002011-03-23T15:56:04.173-07:00I like to pick and choose my news because if I wat...I like to pick and choose my news because if I watch the TV news here in Houston it's jam packed with all sorts of murders and depressing stuff I don't want to hear about. We don't get a newspaper and I wouldn't care to. I prefer to catch my general headline news online, as well as some local news but not much. I also keep up with basic science, arts, business, humanities sorts of topics online as well. I don't care much to follow finance or politics. And I listen to NPR and BBC News when I'm in the car, but I don't have a set schedule so I don't always catch my favorite programs (like all things considered, radiolab, and all songs considered).Amber K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17633115870758894127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486325429771539945.post-19863606218275140782011-03-22T11:28:39.638-07:002011-03-22T11:28:39.638-07:00Hi Laura, I never watch, listen to or read any new...Hi Laura, I never watch, listen to or read any news. I won't go in to details other than to say I find that my life is better for opting out of the media merry-go-round. I say never but I will watch when there is some - what I think of as real news such as the terrible carry on in Japan. So I tuned in last week but that's it now for me until I hear of something else happening. I don't listen to the radio prefering instead to listen to my own music collection.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830090701346321489noreply@blogger.com
