I actually check all their websites daily. I have the PG on RSS feed on my computer, and the Trib iPhone App on my phone.

In the mornings, I watch WPXI. At 4:00, I watch KDKA, and 5:00, I watch WTAE. Sometimes I watch 11:00 news, and sometimes I don't...usually just whoever I end up on.

I'm usually not selective when it comes to the news. I'll read the Trib and the PG, watch all the news channels, etc.

I get my news online, and use Yahoo news feeds plus follow some blogs, and I'll go to whatever sites that process takes me.

I go on line to the Post-Gazette's website and WPXI's website for local news.

I read the CP for entertainment purposes. Even when WAMO was in operation, the CP would have events listed in there, that I was interested in, that WAMO didn't advertise.

I'm old school, read the PG cover to cover. If something really piques my interest, I'll go on-line for more articles on the subject. My web-site home page is Reuters.

TV news, only to see sports highlights of the local teams, or to see what Judy Balogna (sp) is wearing.

The PG is the best paper by far compared to the Trib.

I read the PG online, sometimes the Beaver County Times online for stuff closer to the house. Occasionally look at the City Paper. Usually someone brings back free Trib PM tabloids, so I page through that. Also, sometimes the people I follow on Twitter link to local news. And we get the Pittsburgh Business Times at work. National news comes from various stuff online.

Plus I listen to WDUQ for local plus national news during my morning get up and drive in time and evening drive home.

No TV news except occasionally when I know there's some ongoing event, and that goes doubly for local TV news. During G20 summit I watched some local TV news, for example, but normally I avoid it.

Read the PG Online
Read the evening Trib
Read the city paper but more for events and what not, though they do have a good story or some good info every once in a while

I read the PG, frequently online, and the City Paper some weeks. I will look at the news if I happen to be sitting in front of the TV at news time, but I don't go out of my way to sit down and watch the news, nor have a favorite channel. I click to the most interesting story. I only have the most basic cable, as I don't watch that much TV.

I like the P-G's food section most of all.
