NEWS MEDIA - 2016
"A January
2016 Pew Research Center survey found that just 5% of U.S. adults
who had learned about the presidential election in the past week named
print newspapers as their 'most helpful' source - trailing nearly
every other category by wide margins, including cable, local and national
TV, radio, social media and news websites."-
