I prefer to get my news online, specifically from
http://www.dailysource.org/
I go to this website because it is easy to use and understand, I am able to get news from all around the world and the biggest/ most important stories are the first things you see.
I like getting recommendations for a trustworthy news source. If someone recommends it then I am likely to check it out and then will determine my own opinion. I expect news sources to be up to date and have news that is important to me. Which I find all that at The Daily Source.
Its hard to say if news sources are more credible these days then in the years past. On one side, we have more access to information and are able to get more quicker but at the same time, these days some news stations and sites generally make their personal opinions clear.
I prefer to get my news from the television, because I am a visual person who likes to see pictures of what is going on etc. The TV also provides a convenience for me when I just want to see the weather, I turn on a news channel and at the bottom of the screen they usually list the weather. The television also provides breaking news. Although the radio is a good source too, it lacks reliability only because I can't always get a news station to come in clearly and you have to listen to a bunch of crap before you get to hear the story or weather you have been waiting for. The newspaper is also a good source, but most likely you are reading old news because it has to be printed the day after the event happens, but it is also nice because you don't have to sit through all the news you don't want to listen to, you can just turn the page. Overall all three methods are reliable and convenient, but I prefer the TV.
