"Pew: Broadband drives more people to get news online
Yet another survey shows just how important the online realm is for news consumption in America. The Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 43% of broadband users turn to the Internet to get news on an average day at the end of 2005. That compares to just 26% of dial-up users who get their news online. Among broadband users, the Internet (43%) tops newspapers (38%) as a source for news. However, the AP points out that the survey shows people are unwilling to pay for news they get online. While half of Net users have registered to get free news on websites, only 6% have paid for video, articles or other news items online. 'The growth of broadband penetration has now totally changed the way people are getting news,' Pew's John Horrigan said. 'High-powered Internet users are clearly going to the Net for news over every other media form.'
