Do you follow the news?

Somewhat true. I don't listen to news 24/7, but if I spot a major headline or receive an article or recommended youtube video with a topic that sounds interesting then curiosity usually gets the better of me, and I go check it out. Maybe do some research on my own. There are some stories that I get passionate about and want to hear new developments on everday, but I have my limits. Sometimes I will tune out the news for awhile because it can be emotionally-overwhelming and challenging to stay on top of, but for the most part I like a good story.

If you follow news events, what sources do you turn to? Any particular newspapers, radio and television programs, websites, podcasts?

I try to keep up with important news but I often fall out of touch when I get tired of hearing about the same muk every day of the week... only to miss the advent of the next major thing.

i don't actively follow news nowadays, anytime i'm made of aware of something it's due to friends/family or social media (mainly twitter and reddit). used to religiously check cnn back when i worked full time when i got bored at work (often), but not anymore

I have a news app I check every once in a while but it only really covers things from my country + the very biggest things (media wise) from internationally. Otherwise, friends keep me up to date on things hahah.

I empathize with this, 100%. It feels like a fever dream to watch the news, let alone hear about it. I'm just exhausted.

yeah basically that :p
Usually I turn to my national television for news, they always seem the most professional anyways. But sometimes I also check out local newspapers or a certain online magazine with some controversial stances... haha!

It's become a rarity for me to check up on the news.

As @Sheep mentioned many larger stories circulate on social media, and for the most part I feel like my mood gets negatively effected when viewing the news. Especially since negativity is heavily promoted for viewership, I find myself happier when I keep away.

I usually watch the news for an hour or so in the evenings when I don't have work, sometimes look at stuff on the news app on my phone

I tend to see the main news headlines of the day online via social media, although I don't usually watch news programmes or read newspapers.

not often.

i have enough issues as it is and seeing more negative things about the world would sadden me even more. there are advantages to hiding under a rock, the biggest one being to save my sanity.
