The Internet is the most popular source of news after television, and reading the news is becoming increasingly social, according to a new report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project examining how people consume news.
The Internet now outranks print newspapers and radio in popularity as a source of news. Sixty-one percent of Americans said they read news online, while 54 percent said they listen to news on the radio, 50 percent read a local newspaper and just 17 percent read a national newspaper. One-third of cellphone owners read the news on their phones.
