Viewers Still Tuning In To TV News
Results released this week by the Pew Internet Project, the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, and the Knight Foundation show that many people still rely on their local news broadcast for information.
Local TV was named the “outlet of choice” for 55 percent of respondents while only 16 percent of respondents said it was the Internet. Breaking news and weather were the most popular topics cited. And African-Americans and Hispanics were most reliant on local broadcast news.
The study was called “How people learn about their local community,” so it would make sense that many would turn to local newscasts as Web and other outlets tend to take a broader view.
