I am trying to become more involved and up to date on current news events (especially while i have free time at work and access to the web) and was wondering what the best source would be. I know all media is ultimately biased in some way, but are there any that are not as extreme as others? I’m looking for somewhere where I can brush up on newsworthy information, specifically nationally, so any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

I prefer a combination of listening and reading, even listening while doing something else.
I use the following daily:
Euronews – updates in video form in the language you choose
NPR-USA national public radio. hourly updates, All things Considered, a weekly quiz, etc…
BBC- they have like 10 channels plus World News updates
RFI – Radio France International- comment culture africa, etc.
Yahoo, OK you go to your email and the news is there too.
Google- I hear or see a thing, I stick it in the search bar and hit "news"
NOS journal – updates every hour in video form
Local radio
