How often do you keep up with the news?

How often do you watch news or keep up with what's going on in the world. Do you read the newspaper? Or do you watch a lot of news. Let us know below.

I read news on my phone every day.. occasionally I'll pick up a free paper if I spot one on my commute but I would never bother buying a newspaper or subscribing to 'premium' news - if it's important news it will be available to all at no cost... It's just the lame opinion pieces and dumb articles which tend to be behind a paywall...

Eh not that often. I used to keep up with it more but for the most part it's just kind of a waste of time IMO, in 99% of cases it's not like I'll be able to do anything about what I'm reading so you just sit there miserable for no good reason lol

I mainly rely on BBC news and Metro (the websites usually). I also tend to get some of my news from both Twitter and Reddit, both of which are great to find out whats happening around the world.

I don't really follow the news unless it's thrown in my face.. It wasn't doing my anxiety any good.

It's not that I avoid it as such, I just don't actively pursue it..

We watch the local news daily on tv but it's so swayed in one direction that sometimes it's hard to stomach. I watch a variety of other news channels because you can't rely on just one to get the full scope of things. All news media sources try to influence people to their way of thinking whether it's liberal or conservative so it's difficult to trust any. None of them are completely objective. But I still try to pay attention as much as I can.

For me it's 'never'. I don't usually follow the news at all. I know that it's not a good habit but I can't help it. I don't really like spending time to read any news. If you were to ask my company CEO's name, current President, Prime minister, I don't think I can answer right away.

That's how bad it is for me. Still, I do listen to my family members talk about stuff and I do know what's going on around me(Well, a little)

I will have to work on following news in the near future...
