N/A Oct 1, 2024

I watch the Portuguese news (RTP or SIC) while having my breakfast, I watch the Belgian news (TV5 Monde) “à midi” and turn to BBC News if something exceptional happens. I don't read daily newspapers, but I do read a Portuguese weekly journal (“Expresso”), a Portuguese magazine (“Visão”), three French magazines (“Obs”, “Elle” and “Marie Claire”) and “The Economist”.

Daily Oct 1, 2024

Quite apart from deliberately reading books and whatever I have lying about the house, talking to relatives etc.

I still have to work at it in my specialist areas. News and casual 'conversations' are not enough!

Never Oct 1, 2024

I never read any news in Maltese as journalists either mis-spell the words and seeing words mis-spelled makes over and over again makes you get used to spelling mistakes - somehow journalists don't bother about the written word and its power when you see it written the same way day after day. Another reason is the current turning a word in a foreign language into Maltese construction and, sometimes, not even bothering to use the Maltese word that exists for it.

I watch the BBC, Sky, France 24 and the Italian channels are on all the time. ▲ Collapse
