This chart shows that while television remains the supreme form of news consumption, internet is on the rise, surpassing newspaper in 2008. While it may have only just become more popular, this may imply that the internet will boom largely while print consumption goes down.

this chart shows that people who actively participate in news do so more than people who participate in online news sources. The percent difference between most of these categories is about 20-15%, which does not necessarily give the impression that the internet is much of a threat to other forms of news
Why do you feel that television has kept up its reign over the internet after all these years? I always thought that the internet is more accessible because you can literally search what you want to find. On the television, you would have to wait for what you want to hear to appear.
