How has the Web changed the ways that you get your news?
PC World's Harry McCracken has stopped getting the daily paper because he was reading all his news online and "Staring at piles of untouched papers depressed me." His article is followed by an interesting reader discussion about how people are changing the way they get their news as a result of the Web.

I subscribe to several hundred RSS feeds in my newsreader. If a story is big enough, somebody will mention it (I also subscribe to feeds from major media organizations, but oddly my first hit on a story is often from a blogger pointing to it).
One of the neat things about this is I can piggyback on people who have more expertise than me in a given area. For instance, I read a lot of medblogs (blogs by doctors, nurses, and researchers). In a way, I don't read the NY Times health section; they read it for me and tell me whether it's crap or not. Sadly, they keep redirecting my attention to the importance of diet and exercise and the low likelihood of miracle cures.
