I get the local news from our newspaper but often I get time only to read the headlines.
As for international news, I watch the BBC news on TV and in case I do not have time for it, I have downloaded a news app from where I get news updates. The news app was very useful to me during the flood we had recently in Kerala. Newspapers had stopped and there was no power for switching the TV. Also, our TV busted during a voltage fluctuation. We have to repair it now.
We live in a village and as you might be aware there are the village gossips who spread news, lol
Surprisingly, steemit posts and @gina notifications alerted me about news that were yet to be conveyed through apps or TV.
