Web beats print, study finds

The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press is out with a new study that found more people get their national and international news from the Internet than newspapers.

According to the study, the Internet has passed all other sources except television as the leading source for national and international news. The center said 40 percent of respondents said they got most of this type of news from the Internet as compared to 35 percent who said they relied on newspapers.

That percentage goes up when looking at just respondents under 30. According to the study, nearly 60 percent of younger Americans rely on the Internet for national and international news. A similar survey taken in 2007 placed that number at 34 percent, indicating that Web sites are consolidating their roles as definitive news sources.

The study doesn’t tell us anything we don’t know already, but backs up these trends with some numbers. The survey was conducted Dec. 3-7 among 1,489 .
