NEW YORK (AP) - Americans with high-speed Internet connections at home are far more likely than dial-up users to go online for news, a new study finds.
The Pew Internet and American Life Project says 43 percent of broadband users turn to the Internet to get news, compared with 26 percent for dial-up users. Broadband users are also more likely to read a national newspaper, but less likely to turn to local television.
"Local TV, in particular, takes a hit ... when people start spending more time with online news," said John Horrigan, Pew's associate director for research.
