I've been experimenting with techniques for keeping up news-wise:
Podcasts:
The Wall Street Journal This Morning
The Economist (audio edition)
NYtimes.com daily update
RSS feeds from:
Financial Times
Wall Street Journal
The Economist
BusinessWeek
I particularly like the podcasts, since you can listen to them while travelling or exercising. RSS feeds can be read quickly by using spreeder.com.
Does anyone have other news-source recommendations?
