The way people receive and process news is changing rapidly these days.  Think about all the stories you might have been exposed to over the past week.  9/11 memorials...the President Obama's speech on the economy...Republican presidential candidate debates.  Where did you get most of your information?  Where did you hear it first?  In the past, most people tuned to a few sources to learn about what was going on in the world.  Maybe it was Walter Cronkite on CBS, or a favorite columnist in the morning paper.  Today, people are getting their updates from dozens of different places.  It could be a status update...or a tweet...or a story on BlogHer!

Where do you get the word first?  Tell us on this week's opinion poll.

Most of my news comes from my internet landing page, but in the poll I marked "Radio" because I'm in the car so, so much! Constantly driving my kids somewhere so now I subscribe to XMRadio so I have CNN and Oprah Radio at my fingertips - that's where I hear about the latest goings on in the world.

I'm so used to being able to control where and when and what kind of news I want on websites that I have no patience with TV news anymore whatsoever. It feels too slow and it makes my brain flat line.

It's tough to pick just one source - most of my news and information comes from the internet but not from one internet source or another. Sometimes Twitter/Facebook - sometimes traditional media's online presences. It could be anywhere online, really.

Since I don't watch much television, I usually get the bulk of my news from surfing the Internet. But I do remember the days I'd sit to watch TV with my father, and hear the news told by Mr. Walter Cronkite.
