50 ways to read the news without opening a newspaper

50 ways to read the news without opening a newspaper

It’s important for agencies and PR firms to stay on top of the changing communications technologies and tools that impact our industry. One PR consultant’s experiment has forced him to discover “news tools” available beyond the printed newspaper.

I came across Adam Vincenzini, a PR consultant’s new years resolution for 2010 and thought it would be of interest. Adam had averaged over 60 minutes per day consuming a variety of newspapers.

To explore the online resources available, he made a New Years resolution that he would not to buy or read a printed newspaper for an entire year. Within the first two months of his experiment he has already compiled this list of 50 ways he can receive the news without reading it in print.

I found Adam’s 10 Mobile-Based ways to get your news very helpful:
