I've noticed that more and more HN is becoming my default go-to news site when I have a few minutes. I don't submit new articles very often because it seems like the "new" page has more than enough help, and there aren't many other news sites that I frequent.<p>So what about you guys? Is HN your main resource for news, or do other mediums take up more of your time?
RealClearWorld.com inundates you with quality information on world events - more than you can read and still be productive. They have sister sites regarding politics, market events, sports, and (maybe) some more areas. NPR is also a favorite<p>HN is still a default for tech news, but it intentionally doesn't cover a wide range of topics.<p>Also, even though I'm not a EE, I read the IEEE spectrum rss feeds daily. They're short and concise, but skip the junk that Wired and similar outlets include for mass appeal.
I have techcrunch, readwrite web, and a few other tech news sites in a folder on google reader. I glance through the headlines two or three times a day.<p>I go to reddit occasionally, but besides HN and my subscriptions on google reader I don't use any other news sites.<p>For real-world (as opposed to tech) news I'm a big fan of NPR's daily 5-minute news summary in podcast form. I also have the NYT and BBC news in a folder in my reader, but even keeping up with the headlines is too much.
Well, I read HN by default and my news service and eat my own food at <a href="http://www.mcsquare.me/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mcsquare.me/</a> , those are my two starting points, mcsquare.me also helps me catch up on stories.
