Current News

Since I am teaching at 8 and 9 AM on M, W, F at Lindenwood, I find it expedient to watch BBC World News on television early in the morning. If I am too sleepy to absorb the news that early, or if there is a news story that I would like to keep updated about or learn more about I go to the BBC Home Page.

I have newsfeeds sent to my email address at Lindenwood so I can remain updated on news from a more local perspective with the New York Times. I especially enjoy the entertainment and movie sections.

When I absolutely, positively have to have the most local of perspectives, I go to the St. Louis Post Dispatch to keep updated about what's happening.

Where do you go for your news?
