Online Audience - 2006 Annual Report

What trends do we find in people using the Internet for news heading into 2006?

Our sense, looking across the data, is that:

  • The percentage of adult Americans who get news online at all appears to have stabilized.
  • But the ones who do are beginning to go there more often.
  • The use of newspaper Web sites in particular is growing.
  • And there are various reasons researchers expect all those numbers to accelerate again.
