TV Network News Top Source of News and Information Today

Gathering news and information used to be easy -- there was the network news and the daily newspaper. Then cable news stations entered the picture, forever changing the news landscape. And the impact of the Internet has changed it even further. With all of these 24-hour news sources at our fingertips, will there still be a place for newspapers in the new information age?

The answer is "yes", according to a recent Harris Poll. In a survey of adults in five European countries, Australia and the United States, readership of major daily newspapers today ranges from a low of six percent of adults in Great Britain and Italy to a high of 13 percent in Spain and Germany. The number one source for each country is T-V network news.

But, looking five years in to the future, the number for major daily newspapers drops just slightly. The lowest percentage of adults who indicate that major daily newspapers will be their source for news and information is in Great Britain and Italy, while the highest percentage is among German adults. The big difference is that online news and information sites become the number one source of news and information for the United States, France, Italy, and Spain and are tied for first for Australian adults. T-V network news will still be first for adults in Great Britain and Germany.
