Internet Gains on Television as Public's Main News Source

The internet is slowly closing in on television as Americans’ main source of national and international news, according to researchers at the Pew Research Center for People and the Press.

Currently, 41 percent say they get most of their news about national and international news from the internet, which is little changed over the past two years but up 17 points since 2007. 

Television remains the most widely used source for national and international news, overall. About 66 percent of Americans say it is their main source of news, but that is down from 74 percent three years ago and 82 percent as recently as 2002.
