Survey Says

Internet Overtakes Newspapers as News Source.

Stacking Up, Unread?

Link to December 23 Pew Research Center post.

TV still rules, with 70% of respondents selecting it as their main source of national and international news (down from 74% in Sept. 2007).

The Internet: 40% (up from 24%)

Newspapers: 35% (up from 34%!) This may actually be good news. Newspapers as a source of news have been on an even keel for the past four years in Pew surveys, though you wouldn't know it with all the layoffs and shrinking coverage and reduced delivery zones of late.
