Internet Passes Print in Survey.
The Internet is now ahead of newspapers and magazines as a source
for news, views and entertainment, according to a study conducted for
Internet service provider Freeserve. Television and radio are ranked as
the first and second news sources, with newspapers now fourth. The
change applies across all demographic groups, in every household that
has Internet access. Internet users in the 16-34 age group spend 15
times as long online as they do reading newspapers. Women spend five
times as long online as they do looking at magazines.
