My favorite is Google Reader you can select what news you want to follow from local to world new and best of all Android Central :)

News apps really rely a lot on personal preference, I'm pretty sure that the NY Times app requires a subscription, but I haven't looked at it in a while. The USA Today app works well, but doesn't have the local news that your looking for. All of the major news channels have apps on the market (CNN FOX MSNBC etc...).

You might want to give Google Currents a try, it allows you to subscribe to different news sources (including Android Central). I have been using it since it became available, and really like it so far. I like having all of the different news available under a single app.

The nexus has a news app/widget. You can set it to display top stories, U.S. stories, health, etc. You can also set it to display news about your own interests.

NY Times mobile app is included in your default bookmarks in the browser, along with CNN, EPSN and a few others. It's free, maybe the desktop online version is a paid service.

I'm a big fan of Pulse. Lots of different news outlets to choose from and you can customize what you see to your liking. Has a nice widget too.

I use Pulse. I've tried others but I'm a fan of the Pulse UI that gives you a quick snapshot into the stories not only within a single source, but across all sources. Another real nice feature is synchronization between devices. I use it on both my GN and my GTab10.1. It keeps all my sources synchronized as well as the read status of each individual story.

I really wanted to like Google Currents. It's very pretty but there is no way to scan all of the articles across news sources...which again is a feature of Pulse that I am a fan of.

I don't use news apps often. The one I've preferred when using it was Pulse.

I use Google Reader as a podcast catcher and it works well for general news also.
