Study: Internet Overtakes Newspapers as Primary News Source in Europe

Via Telecom Asia:
The Internet has overtaken newspapers and magazines as Europeans' main source of news and feature-type information, according to a new study quoted by an AFP report. "The fact that Internet consumption has passed print consumption is an important landmark for the establishment of the Internet in the European media mix," JupiterResearch's vice-president Mark Mulligan was quoted as saying.

The AFP report further said the main factors affecting Internet use are age and broadband access, according to the report.

So for example France, which has the highest rates of broadband household access, also registers the highest average hours spent online whereas Germany ranks lowest in both cases, the report said.
It had to happen eventually. I wonder what the domestic numbers on this look like.

Regarding your blog - check my aol mail. I have just signed up to talktalk broadband and is an absolutely superb deal. I get free telephone calls 24/7 plus free 8Mb/s broadband (which is lightening fast btw). I would definitely recommend talktalk broadband for anyone in the uk.
