My news sources:
I still rely mostly on newspapers and I subscribe to 2 different papers. Cable and on-line news seems to far more concerned about speed than accuracy or putting events in context, and with newspapers I can read them when I want, and focus on what I am interested in.

During my rather long commute, I typically listen to WNYC in the morning (BBC & NPR news programs) and WBGO in the evening.

I miss having the time to read TIME or US News & Word Report. I read a copy of TIME a few months back in a doctor's waiting room and was extremely impressed with the quality of the writing and in-depth reporting. (Darwinism in print journalism?)

Unfortunately a lot of my "reading time" is spent reviewing technical journals.

The complete list:
Regional newspaper: Newark Star-Ledger
Local newspaper: Morris County Daily Record
TV: NBC, CNN, News 12 NJ
Radio: WBGO news, WNYC news (BBC & NPR)
On-line: Aljazeera, and not the "Aljazeera America" (the international one is much better at international news & sport than US-based services)
Other: ESPN Sports Center, The Daily Show, The Onion, Pelican Parts off-topic forum, CBS Sports on-line,

Automotive news: Top Gear (UK), Car and Driver, Road & Track
