A new survey finds that 50 percent of U.S. adults say they prefer getting news from TV, 36 percent prefer getting news online and 10 percent prefer print, reports UPI.
The survey of 2,307 adults conducted by Harris Interactive Aug. 13 - 20 found more than two-thirds of Americans display a moderate interest in the news, indicating that keeping up with the news is one of many ways they like to spend their leisure time, continued the UPI report.
Included in the surveys finding are that 13 percent self-described themselves as "news junkies," while 18 percent said they were not really interested in the news; there are more male news junkies than female -- 17 percent of men said they follow the news closely, compared with 9 percent of women; and, younger adults are especially likely to express a lack of interest in following the news.
