I've been getting the times on my I pad for a few years but am becoming a bit disillusioned with it, I dip into the bbc and Al jazeera websites.
Any other recommendations if I bin the times?

In the past I would check the bbc etc daily, but it's usually depressing

I listen to jack fm which has hourly news updates, not too wordy, but enough to let me know if there is something going on to find out about

Paper is The Times.

Websites are The Telegraph, Order-Order and Spectator.

Magazines are the Economist, Spectator and Private Eye.

Oh and Daily Mail from here, of course!

Pistonheads.

And the editorial content is awesome - even if I don't agree with at least 50% of it.

France24 I find to be good and impartial... more news from Europe/North Africa than you'd otherwise see.

Russia Today is interesting to read their side of the coin but the bias is quite evident.

nono

During Q2 2015, you only agreed with 47.3% of those views expressed on PH which you responded to.

Surely Twitter is just a vehicle for disseminating the news? I use Twitter but only to follow the aforementioned news outlets as they have no editorial content of their own. Isn't it a bit like saying 'paper' or 'a computer' in response to the OP?

Radio 4 mainly during the morning / evening commute.
Buy The Guardian whenever I'm working from home. Used to be The Times, but it's really gone downhill lately
Then New Scientist / Private Eye

I'd say I get a lot of my news from twitter. I do follow sky news etc on twitter by most recently found most of the breaking news coming from twitter through retweets, especially when its about someone who's died like Cilla Black last week. I tend to be waiting for the news sites to be confirming that what I've read on twitter is true.
