The National Newspaper Association recently conducted a survey to find out what consumers preferences were when it came to learning about local news in their community.
Newspapers slightly edged out television, but what was the most surprising stat was that only 1% of people surveyed cited newspaper’s websites as their preferred source. Also notable is that the majority of respondents have been readers of their local paper for 30 years or more.
