Where do politicians get their information from?

2.76K views

When there is something like a crisis going on in another country it always seems like every politician (not only the ones in the government but the others too) is aware of the exact details about anything that might have influence on the situation.
Do they read the newspaper like normal people or does every party have their own people abroad?
How exactly does it work?

Parish / county level candidate here. I read several newsletters and blogs each morning. Sometimes I will speak to a source directly. A candidate has to do a lot of gathering whereas an incumbent has more of this handed to them. Can imagine at a state level or higher there is less daily primary reading and more reliance on staffers to digest the info.
