"What is your primary/preferred source for getting news?"

Rory FitzPatrick - K&L Gates
"It probably has to do with old dogs and new tricks, but I still get my news primarily from the newspapers. At some point during each day I'll look at and read parts of the New York Times, the Boston Globe, and even the Boston Herald. And if I miss anything, I'll learn it from my wife, an even more voracious newspaper reader. As the late, great I.F. Stone used to say, it's all there in the papers."

Victoria L. Walton - Burns & Levinson LLP
"The internet (via washingtonpost.com and boston.com) is my primary source for quick headlines but I get my detailed news from talk radio.  Talk radio is always lively and interesting and even if you don’t agree with the hosts’ positions, they tend to have educated and relevant guests."

Nicholas M. O'Donnell - Sullivan & Worcester LLP
"I'm old fashioned; I read the New York Times every day on the train, and the Economist weekly for international news.  I do skim a few European news websites like Der Spiegel or El Pais online periodically, too.  I skip network TV and tune in to the Daily Show instead."
