When I was in high school, I rarely watched the news. I got most of my news and information from family or friends. It just wasn't appealing to me to watch the news then.
Now, I feel it is important to have some idea of what is going on in the world. I admit that I do not watch the news often, but I usually check the headlines in the morning before class.
My daily news routine consists of turning on the television to CNN. I will also pick up the Daily Beacon on the way to class to learn about what's happening on campus. I also find the Daily Show with Jon Stewart to be a more entertaining way to learn about news and politics.
Throughout the rest of my day, I will just get information from family and friends who find out breaking news before I do. For example, on the day of the Virginia Tech shootings, I did not know about the event until my mom called me about it.
Before I go to bed every night, I will turn my t.v. onto the Weather Channel to check the weather report for the next day. That is about all the news watching I will do for the night, because I am usually too busy to watch any long news shows or reports.
