How do you learn about the news?

I am just wondering how people tend to find out what the "news" is. By "news" I mean current events like world events, politics, economics, celebrities, etc. as opposed to say family/personal news.
I couldn’t make a poll enabling the selection of multiple answers so just select the most relevant one. Also feel free to post comments if you want to.
Personally I actively avoid the news and tend to believe that anything important enough I will learn without actually seeking it out because people will be discussing it. So I chose “word of mouth”. However I do read some economic news as I like to follow the price of things that affect us like natural gas, oil, and the pound:dollar exchange rate.
I am looking forward to hearing peoples answers.

News websites or AppsI have the sky news app on my phone, so I get banners with the headlines from around the world. For other news I have to search for it, mainly archeological. It doesn't always seem to hit the headlines.0

News websites or AppsI try to avoid news channels on TV, the 24hr ones can be a bit relentless and get you down, but with an app, it's sometimes easier to limit your exposure, for me anyway! I do hear it on the radio too0

News websites or AppsI look at sky news and the daily mail which I really wouldn’t call news more of a gossip rag.0

RadioI wake up to the radio every morning so hear the headlines first through there.
Then check Facebook & Instagram once or twice a day.
And most evenings I'll use the BBC 'red button' to read any articles that I choose through the TV. Also check weather and sports results through the red button.0 -
TelevisionI like to switch on bbc news in the morning, my preferred news channel, also via radio if we are out in the car, i like to be updated and find these work for me
