I'm a Facebook scroller and still watch morning tv and evening news broadcasts.
I don't use Twitter for news.
I only read a newspaper if one is laying around.
I like the radio for music but will sometimes catch their hourly news updates.
Mostly, BBC Radio 4 programs. Assorted YouTube techy/nerdy feeds and sometimes similarly themed web sites. I generally ignore all the news items Twitter, Yahoo, Google etc keep pushing at me and gave up on newspapers decades ago.
shareI used to love reading the daily paper. Now it's just online news from various sources or I will google current events....
Kinda miss my newspaper but time marches on....
News these days is nothing but emotional narratives and meaningless statistics. You can't learn a damn thing from it. It's just telling you what to think and feel. Used to be you could strip the facts out of what they were telling you, but there's no facts in the mix any longer. I like to watch Inside Edition cause at least you get some fun nonsense with your daily dose of brainwashing.
shareBBC News and sometimes the PBS NewsHour. Or from any sources within the green rectangle on the Media Bias Chart:

I want facts and neutral reporting... no extremist garbage. I don't consider Wastebook to be a "news source," either.
Your chart is outdated. There is one from January of this year and they bumped my beloved Daily Mail up to the yellow box. There are a lot of respected publications in the yellow box that should not be ignored. I just question the credentials of the people who developed the chart. It does look like they are a team of people but they only evaluate a few articles from each source during their review period. One guy on this site was using ratings from the mediabiasfactcheck website and that site is maintained by ONE person who does all the ratings.

As long as the sources fall within the green rectangle I don't have a problem. The BBC and PBS are still in there. The Associated Press is rated "least biased." This was one on-line source I used to follow. I think I will start using it more frequently again.
Thanks for the updated information.
Sky News - 10 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the evening.
Sky Sports - as applicable.
I watch Channel 7 Eyewitness News for weather and sports
The rest of the news is too horrible to pay attention to...
'24 year old shot to death in The Bronx'
'House fire in Brooklyn kills sleeping family'
'Explosion in Kabul demolishes neighborhood'
...I can't take it man, I don't want to know about itđź‘Ž
So true. It's almost as if news stories are "cut and pasted." Just change the names and locations, then save it for the next broadcast. Same old stuff day after after day after day.
I'm sick of it, too.
When I went to New York I put on the local news and was like “wow a lot of murders today”. As a tourist, you’re having a great time but then realise that it’s still a dangerous city.
shareLots of killing going on here in New York and hardly any of it makes any sense at all
It's frequently domestic ('you're dating my baby Mama so I'm gonna light up the entire neighborhood and probably kill a cute little kid with pigtails in the crossfire) or another classic, 'You started selling crack on my corner so brilliant Macho rules dictate I must shoot you in the face and spend the next 20 years staring at a block wall asking myself WTF was I thinking?!?'
We had an annual joke in Yonkers, it was not particularly funny but it was true EVERY year...Warm weather comes and all the boys are out on the stoops, this is Springtime in the city
You have one or two stabbings or shootings around town and you know Summer has arrived...you cannot make this stuff up
TV, radio, newspapers, online occasionally.
shareMostly online. I tune in to local news on tv nightly.
