I will check Google News daily because it pulls important stories from multiple sources I will also check CNBC.com for market news and ESPN for sports news. I love politics, so I have a list of political blogs and websites that I will read, but I think I'll keep those to myself.

If you're not into sports, I would highly suggest checking ESPN daily. Nothing is more awkward when students network with you or you interview someone and you mention something sports-related to break the ice, and the student has no idea what you're talking about.

 

Listening to the FT News Briefing on my way to work, and some political podcast

Got some newsletters set up at work (Mergermarket the obvious one, also Moodys to have debt markets on the radar, McKinsey has some great ones too about general business issues). Also subscribed to some reports from our research department

In addition, subscribed to a weekly newspaper on everything from politics to culture (really keen to also focus on that actually, need something aside from business stuff to keep a sane mind), a couple of daily ones and the NYT (though I don’t read that religiously, am based in Europe and only try to keep up with the stuff happening in the US)

 

Aut rerum sit cum animi quaerat. Placeat et et ipsam non. Sapiente aliquam molestiae fugit rem.
