PoliticalPopUp Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 TV Is Americans' Main Source of News Preferred news source varies by age, education, and politics, among other factors by Lydia Saad PRINCETON, NJ -- Television is the main place Americans say they turn to for news about current events (55%), leading the Internet, at 21%. Nine percent say newspapers or other print publications are their main news source, followed by radio, at 6%.. These results are based on a Gallup poll of 2,048 national adults conducted June 20-24, in which Americans were asked to say, unaided, what they consider to be their main source of news about U.S. and global events. More than half the references to television are general, with 26% simply saying they watch television or TV news, 4% saying they watch local TV news, and 2% saying they watch the "evening news." The two leading 24-hour cable news channels -- Fox News and CNN -- are named by 8% and 7%, respectively. However, no other specific channel -- including MSNBC, PBS, BBC, and all of the U.S. broadcast networks that once dominated the news landscape -- is mentioned by more than 1% of Americans. The vast majority of those citing the Internet -- 18% of all Americans -- either mention the Internet generally or say they get their news "online." Two percent identify Facebook, Twitter, or social media as their source, while 1% mention a specific online news site. The New York Times and Wall Street Journal are each named by 1% of Americans -- the only specific print publications to earn as much as 1% in the poll.

The Scrutinizer Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 ALL talking heads tell you what their corporate masters want them to tell you. FOX, MSNBC, CNN, they are ALL THE SAME. Real journalism died when corporations took over television and print news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
