Honestly it's hard to say nowadays. The short answer is via a combination of aggregators. Through those, I end up getting a lot through the NYT, Atlantic, BostonGlobe, Wall Street Journal, BBC, and any number of smaller sites, blogs, and social network contributors too numerous to even begin to mention.

So I soak it in passively that way, but should I be interested in a topic in particular, then I will do google searches and social network scans to mine links to reporting that is more in depth.

Outside of the aggregator and social network curation, the only news direct from the source I generally tune into is NPR in the car.

I don't think there is a single new organization in the world that is trustworthy or dependable as a single source for reporting on every important topic though, especially when it comes to investigative reporting that lives up to the most romantic idealizations of the "Fourth Estate."

I also find that I increasingly seek out and turn to specific reporters via social networks, and respect them as their own brand, separate from the organizations that pay their salaries.
