Where do US homeowners who have high-powered home broadband get their news?

71% of high-powered users get news online on the average day—three times the rate of other high-speed users.

Where do US homeowners who have high-powered home broadband get their news? According to research conducted by The Pew Internet & American Life Project

"71% of high-powered users get news online on the average day—three times the rate of other high-speed users.
59% get news on the average day from local TV;
53% get news on the typical day from radio;
52% get news on the average day from national TV newscasts;
43% get news on the average day from the local paper;
21% get news on the average day from a national newspaper.

It is worth pointing out that 72% of these users report getting news from both local and national TV on the average day. Although the survey didn't’ ask where respondents get most of their news, it is clear that, for a sizable and influential group of broadband users, the internet is a prime news source."

And guess what (no surprise), the influence of the internet on the real estate industry is growing -- by leaps and bounds! More validation of what we have known for years. Only now the rate of change is accelerating!

We have observed this growth from close up, having started delivering real estate news from Real Estate CyberSpace Radio just about 10 years ago!
