Since then, I have preferred digital media for news, and newspapers are just a nice luxury that I give to my father from time to time. However, I read magazines as often as I ever did. Somehow, I still prefer their format.

I have a subscription to the Washington Post but it sits unopened while I read the best stories online. I supplement that with NPR and a mix of blogs. Ten years ago, magazines were a big part of the mix. I can’t remember the last time I read a magazine anywhere but the doctor’s office.

Before discovering blogs and the Internet, I watched CNN, Fox, CSPAN, NBC Nightly News, and the local news. I still watch them. However, my perspective is different. My home page is My Yahoo. I find I get the news more quickly just by opening Firefox than turning on the TV set.

It’s now My Yahoo-Blogs-TV-newspapers-magazines
Before it was: TV-newspapers-magazines

I’ve not only added online news and commentary, but I’ve made them my primary information source. Then I want interpretation. I start with blogs and only after that do I look at the traditional media. I see the media spin much more clearly now.
