Where do you get your news?

The Pew Internet & American Life Project, in the news every few months for issuing reports on America's media consumption habits, has just released its latest survey, "Understanding the Participatory News Consumer." Key findings include:

• "37% of internet users have contributed to the creation of news, commented about it, or disseminated it via postings on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter."
• "The internet has surpassed newspapers and radio in popularity as a news platform on a typical day and now ranks just behind TV." But over a third (38%) rely solely on offline sources, and...
• Local news is still the leading new source. "78% of Americans say they get news from a local TV station."

And finally:

• 75% of online news consumers say they get news forwarded through email or posts on social networking sites.
