Those numbers would probably increase if people were aware they can get the Colbert Report and John Stewart on their mobile devices!

How? via YouTube or their own website? Cool.

Count me among the stats also. I get a little bit of morning news before I have to dash to work before daybreak but check the sites of two local TV stations plus other sources via my phone. I just wish some sites were better mobile-optimized.

I get my news mainly from:

1. A news aggregator. Mainly the original Google Reader app for Android these days. I have used other news aggregators too, like Pulse, Feedly, Flipboard, FLUD, Google Currents, but running too many apps will kill your battery.
2. From my social networking feed. Twitter, Facebook and Google+. Depends on whom you follow.
3. The Youtube app. Again, depends on who you subscribe.
4. Dedicated news apps. CBS News, CNN, Time, and so on. Cool presentation, just not cool for your battery if you run too many of them. Preferably the apps either has an onscreen widget, or capable of sending push notifications to your curtain bar. I would also prefer an app that could share to social networking sites, preferably using the generic Android share command.
5. Local news on SMS

I get mine mainly from Twitter and SkyGrid app. I also have FoxNews2Go I can listen to.

I subscribe to a number of rss feeds through google reader. When I come across a headline that interests me, I share it with Pocket which picks up the entire article for me to read free from ads, goofy formatting, and extraneous website silliness.

I live in the stone age. I still read several newspapers a day (in hardcopy and online).

Sounds like everybody (with the exception of VJ ) might want to give the new phablets a look. I wasn't sure about them but a co-worker came in with an LG Intuition today and the difference the screen makes in readability (she reads lots of ebooks) is more than you might think.
