Get your news online.
While once the most effective way to stay up-to-date, newspapers are all but completely obsolete now. Search features make browsing articles online much more time-effective than hunting through a newspaper and certainly more time-efficient than watching TV (where you have to wait through Brittany’s latest antics to find out what’s going on in Washington… …or wait through what’s going on in Washington to find out Brittany’s latest antics, depending on your interests). Also, you’re not limited to a single point of view on a topic as switching to another news source, a blog, or sometimes even primary sources is as easy as typing in a new URL.
