What Are Your News Sources?

What do you read for the news? Whether it is online news or traditional newspapers, what is your source of news? It is a question to which Governor Palin gave Katie Couric a very generic answer:

“…Couric: And when it comes to establishing your worldview, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?

Palin: I’ve read most of them, again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media.

Couric: What, specifically?

Palin: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me all these years.

Couric: Can you name a few?

Palin: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news, too. Alaska isn’t a foreign country, where it’s kind of suggested, “Wow, how could you keep in touch with what the rest of Washington, D.C., may be thinking when you live up there in Alaska?” Believe me, Alaska is like a microcosm of America.”

My three main sources of news online are:

1. The New York Times
2. The Houston Chronicle
3. The Los Angeles Times

Those are among the list of my ‘daily - visit’ news sources. What are three of yours?
