You did it, America! You finally managed to stop reading newspapers and start using the Internet to get your news enough to officially push the printed word into the consumption doldrums to match its economic doldrums.
"According to a new study from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press released last week, the Internet has passed newspapers as the most popular source for news. Only television surpassed the Net, with about 70 percent of Americans saying they get most of their national and international news from the ubiquitous box. About 40 percent say they get most of their news from the Net, an increase of 16 percent from September 2007. Newspapers are the main source for about 35 percent. This is the first time the Net has surpassed newspapers as a source of news." [Sci-Tech]
Except, um, what's this about?: "Newspapers actually gained a bit among young people in the last year, going from 23 percent to 28 percent."

What about mobile? I am sure people read a lot of news content on their Iphones or smart phones. News text alerts, etc. I think soon Mobile surfing will surpass both internet, tv and newspapers. Unless Mobile internet access is also classified as web.
SHOCKING!!!
