News: What Makes Us Tick

Yet another reminder of how the news landscape (and perforce, the very nature of politics) has changed in recent times can be found in today's joint release of research from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project and Project for Excellence in Journalism.

Of particular interest is the growth of the "participatory news consumer" (no news to this community, of course). Politicos ignore or dismiss these phenomena at their peril, as we well know.

Once again, just the facts, Ma'am.

Wow. (4.00 / 1)
The internet is now the third most-popular news platform, behind local and national television news and ahead of national print newspapers, local print newspapers and radio. Getting news online fits into a broad pattern of news consumption by Americans; six in ten (59%) get news from a combination of online and offline sources on a typical day.

News on cell phones (4.00 / 1)
A lot of us now read the news on our cell phones.

The study found that 26% of Americans get news on their phones. Pew doesn't have comparable data for say, two or three years ago. But evidence of the shift in habits can be seen in this finding: Younger cellphone owners are more likely to look for news on their phones. About 43% of those under 50 said they are mobile news consumers, compared with 15% of older respondents
.

We believe in prosperity & opportunity, strong communities, healthy families, great schools, investing in our future and leading the world by example. We are Democrats; we are the change you're looking for.
