Assuming you read news, where do you go for it? Do you read a newspaper? Watch the local news on TV? A website (most likely, I'm guessing, with this crowd)? Which one?

Depends on what type of news. I usually check Digg.com a few times a day as it usually collects some interesting articles on the front page. Occasionally I read the local paper, but not all that much. I also have the Google news recent headlines on my google account homepage which I check daily. I rarely watch TV though.

I've got a long list of RSS feeds but that's more for industry stuff. Most of my general news comes from the 2 1/2 hours of driving I do each day via the radio...

Cool, yeah, I get a lot of news via RSS. If I am looking for news on a particular subject, I'll do a quick search on Google News.

I use a plugin for Thunderbird to get the RSS for Slashdot(I like the plugin better than the builtin RSS manager). I also look at the headlines on Yahoo.com. I check Digg a couple a times a day.
