We prefer the computer screens of paper newspapers, and television is no longer as popular as ever when it comes to the transfer of current information - according to recent research.
Most of the people as their main source of domestic and foreign sees the internet rather than newspapers, the year 2008 has been in this fundamental change - tells The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The statement clearly carries TV, but its share year-on-year declines.
40 percent of respondents felt the network as the main source of information, while a year ago it was just 24 percent - a significant increase seen here. This is not only the development of the Internet content, but also from the fact that a very fast growing number of Internet users, especially in developing countries. Although the share of print media has increased slightly, and so the traditional newspapers have failed to keep second place.
It should be noted, however, that much larger changes among younger Internet users, aged from 18 to 29 years. For them the Internet as early as the Ok 5-6 years was more important than newspapers, the main source of information. The major stroke end of the decade brought the twenty-first century. Websites have become generally available through what have become for many the main place to gather information. Studies conducted in the USA showed how far the Internet's popularity has increased, from 34 to 59 percent, equating to the television, which in turn, she lost 9 percentage points (down from 68 to 59 percent). TV still is not that significant - in 2008, most information supplied 70 percent of the respondents. This means a decrease of 4 percentage points compared to last year and up 12-point compared with 2001.
It can be expected that these trends will intensify. Integration with the world of Internet television has begun and it is difficult to expect to be stopped. More and more television stations and publishes your content online, which makes people gain access to them anywhere, anytime. The popularity of printed newspapers also declining, mainly due to their editors - the vast majority of articles published in newspapers is also available on the Internet.
