Social Networks Finally Bypassed Print Newspapers as a Primary Source of News

Television was still tops in the latest survey from Pew Research Center

Spending Sunday morning with a cup of coffee and the newspaper is quickly becoming a thing of the past, according to new research from Pew Research Center.

Pew found that 20 percent of U.S. adults who responded to its survey said they often get news via social media, marking the first time that social network topped newspapers (16 percent) since Pew began researching this topic.

Television was still the top source, at 49 percent, down from 57 percent in 2016.
