Reading/watching the news is a good thing. I’ve made the switch to SBS World News Australia for my browser homepage. I’ve gone from Sydney Morning Herald to ABC News and now to SBS. I lost confidence in SMH a few years ago and now ABC are increasingly running more sensational hit-seeking articles in the prominent headline positions.
I already feel smarterer from reading the site. Mainly, I feel like I understand more about what’s happening in the world. That’s gotta be a good thing… right? What paper/news site do you read? Does anyone still read a physical copy of the ‘paper’?
i’ve also stopped following abc on twitter, and made sbs news the main news thingy i follow on twitter.
peaceout
haha late night blogging. i love it. i use smh :) you still using google reader to keep track of blogs?

We get the SMH delivered every day. Mum refuses to view it on the net.
i just wrote a comment. but its not appearing. weird
stuck in spam mayb? haha
I get RSS feeds from the ABC but watch SBS News. I follow ABC Grandstand and SBS on Twitter.
I haven’t read a physical paper for years!
Thanks for the tip Dave. I’m going to follow SBS WN on Twitter. To keep in touch with what’s happening in Oz I have been checking the SMH and then the Australian and go to the Times for world news but will kill two birds with one stone.
Good! I’m glad you have made the switch. I find that there is more of a global feel to World News Australia, and it seeks to present straight up facts.
Nice switch. Def an SBS fan
Second choice is BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/
Followed by Al Jazeera http://english.aljazeera.net/
