The number of adults using the Internet to find and read news online is on the rise. One national study by the Pew Research Center reported that weekly use of online news tripled from 11 million to 36 million people in the United States between 1996 and 1998, which the center called “astonishing” (Pew Research Center for People & the Press, 1998). Other studies have shown similar growth in use of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and other online information resources (see, e.g., Jupiter Media Metrix, 2001; Nielsen Media Research, 1999). |
