Radio
In many ways, easiest. Try National Public Radio (NPR)/Oregon Public Broadcasting (OPB).
Television
- Most Americans get their news from television. Try to stay away from the typical network and local morning and evening news, which is mostly fluff and commercials. Instead, try the NewsHour on OPB/PBS.
Newspapers
- If reading the news is your preference, Time magazine or The Week are fine, but weeklies tend to focus on broad topics and often lag in reporting current news.
- Ideally, read a daily newspaper, the bigger the better: The New York Times, The Washington Post, or USA Today are best for national and international coverage. The Oregonian, The Seattle Times, are also useful for a different perspective.
- All the sources listed above have good websites and apps, as do all of the other mainstream media that come to mind (CNN, ABC, BBC, etc.).
- Web portals such as Yahoo and MSN have good news pages. Also try Google News.
