I was getting so stressed following the news closely that I had to take a break from it!
I've been listening to podcasts and reading news online, and recently realized that I'm much less stressed as a result. The downside is that I don't feel as informed about the world at large. Pretty sure that if we had our TV, I'd break down and start watching again... we had to get rid of it when we moved, since our current apartment doesn't really have a good place for a TV.
Do you watch the news?

I watch the news if it's on while I'm watching my other shows. I do get email & text alerts on breaking news so I usually know what is going on.

I usually read news. DH and I avoid news shows if we can help it these days.

I mostly read it.
If DH and I are up at the same time in the morning, we watch the local news. But I consider that more of entertainment than news.
I probably get 80% of my news from Twitter and Facebook

Yes, twice a week, while at dinner at my parent's home. They watch Channel 7 Eyewitness News.
I personally don't think shielding myself is the answer either. I think it's so important to be informed of your area's events, as well as the world.

I don't usually watch it.
I follow news mostly through twitter. I follow a lot of local & larger news organizations.

I put it on sometimes as I get ready in the mornings and watch it at the gym. This is the only way I can squeeze in the news or else I would be clueless!

No. I read online or ny DH watches and tells me about things that might interest me.

No, we don't have a tv but if we did, I would watch the news. I prefer to read my news, I get my in depth reporting from the New Yorker.

I read news online. I think it's important to keep up with what's going on in my city, country and in the world, but I don't need to hear it from the POV of my local news.
