Where does the news come from?

Asking me to say where I get my news from might as well be asking me to sit you down and have an hour long conversation.

I will try to make this short, instead.

SInce I work at WPXI-TV, I get a lot of my local news first hand. As it happens and is coming in from the assignment desk I'm writing the stories and preparing them for air.

When I'm not at work, however, I get most of my news electronically. Most of the time I get it online, but in the form of newspaper Web sites. If I'm looking for the most accurate and complete information on a story I usually will get the information from the online newspaper site or from national news Web sites like MSNBC and CNN.

I find myself getting a fair amount of my news content from Twitter, of all places. However, when I get news from this source, it's almost always headlines with links to articles or video clips of the stories from newspapers and television stations.

I still enjoy picking up a hard copy of the Post-Gazette when available and enjoy watching news when it's on the air.
