The Internet has surpassed newspapers as the main source for national and international news for Americans, according to a new survey.
Television, however, remains the preferred medium for Americans, according to the survey by the Washington-based Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
Seventy percent of the 1,489 people surveyed by Pew said television is their primary source for national and international news.
Forty percent said they get most of their news from the Internet, up from 24 percent in September 2007, and more than the 35 percent who cited newspapers as their main news source.
Emphasis added by me.
Hey, the Newspaper Fetishists used to whiiiine, "Oh, I can't think of a Sunday without curling up with The New York Times."
So, question: Did they all drop dead -- or get electronic religion?
And, no, book publishers, the moral here is not "books on TV."
Get real. Make with the flood of eBooks in 2009!
