The majority of Americans say they rely on TV for news about current events more than any other source, including the Internet, according to Gallup.
The polling org reported July 8 that 55% say TV is the go-to source, followed by the Internet (21%) and newspapers/print media (9%), and radio (6%).
But TV news viewing habits are disparate as only 4% said they watch local TV news and 2% said they watch the "evening news." FOX News (8%) and CNN (7%) led the cable news race, while no other outlet broke above 1% in the poll.
On the web, Facebook, Twitter and other social media drew 2% of U.S. adults for current events, while in print only the New York Times and Wall Street Journal reached the 1% mark in mentions by respondents.
By age, TV still leads the pack among 18-29-year-olds, although in a smaller percentage than in older demographics. Fifty percent of those 18-29 turn to TV for news, while 68% of Americans 65 and older do the same. Internet news has the reverse effect – 27% of 18-29 and 6% of 65+.
Politically, Democrats tend to consume more print news (12%) than Republicans (7%), while GOPers lean more toward TV, 63%-54%, Gallup found.
Gallup polled more than 2,000 adults June 20-24 about their news consumption without any aids or prompts.
