Recently a survey was conducted by Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, which states that the internet has become the second most important source for national and international news for many people. The survey was taken among 1,489 adults out of which 40% of the people accepted that their main source for news is Internet.
When the same center conducted a survey last year, only 24% of people opted internet as their source of news where 74% opted television and 34% opted for newspaper. But this year in 2008, though the television rates as the first source of news, the percentage of people depending on television has gone down from 74% to 70%. But the Internet stands second by 40% of people depending on internet for news.

When the adults survey has itself showed a much difference, undoubtedly in the survey among the youngsters the percentage of people who rely on internet as almost been doubled from 34% to 59%.
