I get the local news paper(s) via Yahoo (My Yahoo).... and some of the news from other states where we lived / family lives at. I prefer the internet news because I have control over what I "have" to hear, and I don't have to be inundated with bad news through out the day, soap operas and game shows the resat of the time. We have chosen not to get cable /dish since moving to AZ this year, so occasionally we get the local news via (NBC.com) over the X-box live (same w/(fee required) netflick hulu zune, etc). Otherwise I can "watch" important weather information at weatherchannel.com or look out my back door.

The newspapers here are: AZ Central and Phoenix New Times. There may be others for local sub-city /surrounding cities news - we don't get those and I don't have them "picked" to be read on Yahoo pages.
