I get a lot of my news from the CBC website, because I want the bit of distance that comes from a site that isn't aimed primarily at Americans. The BBC and Guardian for similar reasons (though I don't trust the BBC on UK political stuff).
For local-to-me, I'm using the WGBH website, plus universalhub.com (basically one diligent person's aggregator, with congenial politics though perhaps an excessive interest in wild turkeys) and boston.com for lack of anything better.
And some friends, and online acquaintances, who collect and post links, or the occasional "redbird, did you hear about..." from my girlfriend.
