Overload

Over the last several years I have found that I listen and watch news less and less. I guess you could say that I suffer from "information overload." I do a lot of skimming: the newspaper, magazines like Time and Newsweek from the secular side of things and Christianity Today and The Christian Century on the religious side of things. The internet provides news headlines as well. My questions is, How do you stay informed from a broad perspective without becoming overwhelmed? How do you navigate through the information jungle?
