Sophie Culpepper, a NiemanLab journalist, attended his "carnival" event to see what the fuss was about. Here's what she thought. We want to know, as social and video networks overtake TV as a news source, where do you get your news (choose as many as you like)?

Reluctantly learning from my boyfriend’s favorite news creator

At “an evening of magic, rap battles, and a SECRET documentary screening,” would I discover the future of news?

@Flipboard RSS - of course.

@trezzer Oh, d'oh, yes, of course! Worth adding to the poll and losing the first view votes as this is such a miss on our part!

@Flipboard Guardian UK newspaper. NRK / BBC national broadcasters. Posters here (including yourselves).

I guess a national broadcaster comes under "somewhere else"?

@Flipboard ivory crashed when I voted and I’m not sure it actually registered my votes but I opted for aggregator, rss, open social media and something else.

That something rlelsevus streaming audio. It’s just so much easier to listen to NPR and multi-task

It also lacks the click baity nature of online media.

@fds Again, a huge miss from us so we have edited the poll!

My "something else" is the websites of national new outlets around the world. BBC, CBC, ABC (Australia, not the evil empire), NHK, Al Jazeera, and so on.

I just wanna say: I still watch TV; I still read some magazines and the occasional newspaper; I just don't go to them for NEWS. News now moves too fast for dead trees, and TV is only good for visual spectacle. Social media is the most immediate, TV gets there eventually (usually for the aftermath), and everybody else is for analysis, if I want any.

My “something else” is online newspapers like NY Times and The Guardian. They’re not print newspapers but I don’t think of them as social media.

@Flipboard mainly 'The Guardian', but online, not print, ditto local papers. Plus BBC news website.
