As it feels increasingly important to keep up to date on the news be it globally or back home, I thought I would throw out this question as I am quite ignorant when it comes to staying up to date.

The last time I read a paper was The Private Eye in early Jan and before that, I must say I never really tried to find a way to consume the news. So let me hear your preferred method.

    It’s a mix:

    • Google newsfeed - yes I know but I have it well-trained.
    • Listening to Radio 4 in the background
    • Various RSS newsfeeds
    • Ground News

        I find it very handy for highlighting the key stories of the day, including UK ones (breaking through the general bias to US news). So you aren’t having to trawl through lots of articles.

        It replaced… I’m thinking Asterisk (but it has been scrubbed from my phone) which was very good but didn’t last long.
