Internet Overtakes Newspapers As News Outlet

(Pew Poll)


The internet, which emerged this year as a leading source for campaign news, has now surpassed all other media except television as an outlet for national and international news.


Currently, 40% say they get most of their news about national and international issues from the internet, up from just 24% in September 2007. For the first time in a Pew survey, more people say they rely mostly on the internet for news than cite newspapers (35%). Television continues to be cited most frequently as a main source for national and international news, at 70%.
