It's Official: The Internet Has Overtaken Newspapers As Primary New Source

Now there’s a Pew survey to tell us what we already knew: the Internet has surpassed all other media (except TV) as the main source for national and international news:

For the first time in a Pew survey, more people say they rely mostly on the internet for news than cite newspapers (35%). Television continues to be cited most frequently as a main source for national and international news, at 70%.

I predict this Internet thing will really catch on in 2009.
