Do you follow it? What sources do you get your news from, and on what mediums? What do you typically like to read about, and what do you ignore?
I follow the news pretty closely. I have since, hm, I think, fourth grade or so. I started off watching the Today Show every morning with my mother before school and eventually moved onto reading the local newspaper. Nowadays I almost exclusively read the news, since I don't like watching or listening to it. It's about ten thousand times faster to read than it is to listen to a newscaster say it, and I don't get to control what topics I hear about or how often I hear about it about if it's on TV.
I'm not really very discriminating about where I'll read my news. As long as the topic's interesting, I really don't care who wrote it. That being said, I mainly read from the New York Times, Yahoo!, and occasionally the BBC, NPR, and the Huffington Post. I really like the Economist when I can get my hands on a copy, but that doesn't happen as often as I'd like.
I typically go for anything about health, science, crime, international news, education, and the economy. International politics is pretty interesting, especially regarding the EU. Basically, I'll read anything, as long as it isn't about sports or American politics.
