Does the term "news" still make sense? Isn't every thing stale now after 15 minutes? I wish we could start verbally reframing all of this information that each of us feels is important.

That said I use:

1. news.google.com to lead me to:

-> local newspaper websites about story

-> national and international news source about story

2. metafilter for thoughtful, text-only heavily moderated discussion about an current event, cultural trend, or digital Doritos.

3. The Daily Show, Tonightly, Last Week Tonight.

4. A very brutish sports radio show but I have low testosterone ... I am trying to fix that.

5. NPR radio for access to audible primary sources.

5. hubski/reddit/boingboing is a triad of information that I wouldn't label as "news" but are often tangential to current events. I come to Hubski to post things that I want to be able to find later & hope to see stuff related to what I post.
