There’s nothing like having your preferred candidate unexpectedly trounced for making you re-evaluate your news sources. Some recent posts from people doing such a re-evaluation:

• Patrick Rhone (lots of good comments on this one)
• Jason Heppler
• The third point of this Adam Kotsko post
• This from Alan Jacobs, which is from a year ago but has sparked some of the reflection above. And speaking of Jacobs, I see that I wrote a post in response to another of his discussions of this issue a couple of years ago.

I already don’t consume a lot of news and I don’t plan to start now. It’s tempting to have my employer pay for an Economist subscription under the guise of keeping up to date on financial news–but I doubt I would read it. But if you’re looking to take the periodicity route, don’t forget your local library. I stopped in at mine this morning to see what newspapers and magazines they have available. Of the ones I have any interest in, they only had The Atlantic. Still, it’s a small town library; yours may have more options.
