Little growth in news consumption

Research by the Pew Research Center for People and the Press suggests that news consumption is not significantly being increased despite the internet. In the past tw o years the number of respondants who said that they go online for news at least three times a week has only gone up by 2% (to 25%). Meanwhile the number who said that they read a newspaper the previous day went down by 6% (to 41%). "It seems that the universe for news consumers is finite and doesn't seem to be growing."
