Right, that was the question. What do you use to stay informed?

I have my alarm set to a high quality radio station at the time their morning news show starts. This is a 5 minute news show that condenses the essential things of the day. If I feel like I need to know more about a specific event, I typically browse a news site with my phone while walking to work. That is enough to be able to follow the typical smalltalk once I hit the workplace.

I used to have my clock radio set to a news station. One morning the first thing I heard was about a massacre in Seattle's International District (their "Chinatown"); thirteen people murdered IIRC.

I don't do that anymore.
