AT On: How Do You Get Your News?

(Editor's note: This post was originally a survey at AT:NY -- we're reposting it here as a conversation starter.)

How do you get your newspaper? Is your New York Times delivered straight to your doorstep every morning? Do you pick one up on the way to work? Or do you read all your news online, like us?...

The value of news is that it is current. Once it's read, it loses value. So daily newspapers are inevitably tossed out in huge bundles. And before those bundles are tossed out, they're kept in your home, taking up space. Whether recycled or disposed of in landfills, reading the news through online sources is greener, thriftier, and makes for a lot less clutter around the house.

I download Democracy Now onto my iPod.

I despise that I have to fight off those that want to sell me newspaper delivery. From annoying phone calls to sad little paperboys at my door. One company started sending me 'free' newspapers and I had to call and tell them to stop.
Why?

I read my news online and watch BBC News on tv every day, though I have to admit I also often pick up an issue of The Express--a short tabloid-size version of the Washington Post that is handed out for free at DC area metros. But I do always recycle those when I get them!
