Pew: Public’s Time with News Equals 1990s Rate
I am a little late on this, but do want to document it here at the PJNet.org. The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press reports in part:
There are many more ways to get the news these days, and as a consequence Americans are spending more time with the news than over much of the past decade. Digital platforms are playing a larger role in news consumption, and they seem to be more than making up for modest declines in the audience for traditional platforms. As a result, the average time Americans spend with the news on a given day is as high as it was in the mid-1990s, when audiences for traditional news sources were much larger.
Read the full report here. It is packed with information.
