Getting news is becoming increasingly difficult for a number of reasons:

1. there is too much information around and thus too much news
2. news and information need to generate money in order to create it - so we got to pay for it
3. there are too many sources producing or rather paddling news and information along - we need to filter out the 121st version of that news about the new electronic monkey sitting at the entrance of that flagship store in Knightsbridge.
4. see 1.
5. see 4.
6. okay, enough.

What we need to know is this:

1. How to get to the news we really need?
2. How to get to that news without paying a fortune?
