The Pew Research Center released their top stories of 2008 report (pdf) and the big news in their report is not what the top stories are, but where people found them. In 2008 forty percent of the respondents to this national survey said they found their international and national news online compared to only 24 percent in 2007. This moved the Internet ahead of newspapers (35%) but still behind television (70%). However for respondents under thirty,  59 percent said they found their international and national news online which is exactly how many found their international and national news on television.
