This is what I like to call “non point source information.” According to the latest survey from the Pew Internet and American Life project, more than 9 out of 10 Americans “graze” on news from multiple sources throughout the day.

The internet is now the third most-popular news platform, behind local and national television news and ahead of national print newspapers, local print newspapers and radio.

Almost as important, about 3/4 of online news consumers use email and social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) to forward links around to their friends, family, and coworkers.

Expect this basic trend to continue for the foreseeable future.
