Rob Walker spent three weeks studying the evening news spectacles of the Big Three. His conclusion? “When I started my three-week project, I was interested in how the evening news might save itself. By the end, I was asking a different question: Why bother?”

His scathing critique rings so true for me; it made me wonder why and when I stopped watching the evening news. I realized that it is because six pm is such a horrible time for me. For the last two and a half years, I have gotten off work at six. That pretty much kills that time-slot for me. I have weaved in and out of touch with national and world events.

Currently, I get the majority of my news by listening to NPR while I drive to and from work. Though perhaps not as good as getting the Washington Times on my radio, it at least keeps me relatively informed.
