Honestly? Mostly word of mouth. People discussing stuff like that doctor who crashed last weekend and the firebug on Jacobs ladder etc. I read the ABC news website most days, but there isn't really enough WA stuff on there to say it's a great source of local news.
I find it really frustrating trying to find WA news online. I hate the fact I do go to Perthnow as that seems to balance out ABC for local news.
To defend the ABC: While there isn't much WA content on there, they also don't really miss anything big. Sure, they may not cover stuff like a local mayor dropping out of the race a couple of days ahead of an election, but also - that sort of stuff isn't really that big of a deal.
Other than the obnoxious advertising on the site, I'm not too adverse to Fairfax coverage. It is far better and more reliable than Newscorp.
