If I had a time each day that I knew I could sit down and catch up on the news I would, having a routine such as Vic's would definitely help me keep up on what's going on in the world. I liked that Vic identified the general layout of a news broadcast. I've never taken the time to see what the order of the news is when I watch it, which doesn't happen very often. I don't get cable at my home and there is a very poor selection of channels via the use of antennas. My method for catching the news right now is through the internet, but since I don't do this consistently, my ability to keep up with world and local events is sketchy at best.
