According to a survey by the Pew Research Center online news services have become more popular than newspapers in the Land of the Free.

The survey found that services such as Google News, AOL, as well as CNN and BBC websites were the most commonly used news services. A total of 68 percent of readers said they got their news from online services. TV is still in the lead with 78 percent on the local level and 71 percent on national TV networks and54 percent of Americans tune into radio stations each day.

In contrast just 50 percent said they regularly read newspapers, which is rather good news for squirrels and their nuts.
