Last August, I posted on the growth of the Internet as a key source for news, based on research being undertaken by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press in the United States.
This morning, I was pointed to updated research from Pew, released just before Xmas (hat tip eMarketer).

This graph vividly demonstrates the dramatic growth of Internet news. That jump from ’07 to ’08 is really stunning.

Well doesn’t that sound like a statement of the obvious.
Note to self: keep this in yer back pocket for responding to people who don’t believe that the Internet is an important source for news.

Lookit that – online news, at 37%, is running pretty much in the same league as the traditional sources, whether cable TV, radio or the paper. And the growth trend for online news consumption is quite stunning – the 2010 edition of this survey will be quite interesting I think.
I know, I know – These numbers are American. But my bet is that Canadian numbers would be similar.
There’s tons more gory detail in the full report.
