More people get news from web than TV or print
The web is now a more important source of news for most Americans than either newspapers or free-to-air television.
Only just over a quarter of Americans – 27 per cent – picked up a newspaper on any given day, whereas well over a third – 37 per cent – regularly go online for news, according to a report.
Only cable television remains more popular, with 39 per cent regularly tuning in to bulletins on a subscription service – up from 34 per cent two years ago, the Pew Research Centre survey found.
