TV Is Still Tops for News, but Internet Sources Gaining Fans
NEW YORK — Fewer Americans are reading newspapers and are instead getting their news online, but television remains the leading source of news in the country, according to a survey released Sunday.
Not surprisingly, younger people tend to get more of their news on the Internet, while older folks use traditional media such as television and newspapers, the Pew Research Center's biannual survey on news consumption habits said.
Pew said the results show an increasing shift toward online news consumption but that there is now a sizable group of a more engaged, sophisticated and well-off people that use both traditional and online sources to get their news.
