    For my local news I usually follow newspaper and for other countries I tend to prefer those forums rather than news sites.

    Internet is the best source for me. I follow google and yahoo news to keep update of what is going around in my country and abroad as well.

    I usually get news from television mainly everyday. I do get some news through net also. I am the type of person who likes to know what is happening around me though sometimes I get frustrated with all the crimes that are happening.

    The newspaper, though old fashion, is still the source of my daily news. Then I go online to check on news that might not have made it in the newspapers.

    I read the news from the internet, especially if there is a hot news item that will make the headlines of the newspapers the next day. I don't wait for the newspaper anymore, I go online for the latest update, then wait for the news on television for more updates.

    Hi Sarah,

    I am from São Paulo city, and each Brazilian State has its own newspaper, so in São Paulo city, the most viewed newspapers are "O Estado de São Paulo" and "Folha de São Paulo" news.

    At internet, the most viewed websites news are www.uol.com.br, www.globo.com, and www.terra.com.br.

    I read the daily "Folha de São Paulo", because it is less political, and I see www.uol.com.br everyday.

    Have a good time when in Brazil!

    Internet is good, but most of the press companies restrict the access to the information, that´s the problem.

    For me: Jornal Nacional, O Globo, Extra, O Dia, Balanço Geral (sometimes when the presenter is not screaming his lungs off about corruption) and Band News. With the access to the internet I occasionally log in to CNN, MSN to see what is happening in the world since most of these stations and newspapers only put emphasis on Brazilian news.

    "O Estado de São Paulo" is regarded as one of the best newspapers in Brazil, too...
