• More than half of all active Internet users say that they read news on the Internet. Among those who indicate an interest in online news, there are varying levels of interest by specific category of news.
General breaking news is widely sought after, with nearly two-thirds of online news readers indicating that they are ‘very interested’ in the genre.
In-depth analysis and editorial/opinion pieces are much less appealing to a mass audience – less than 25% of online news readers indicate strong interest in these areas.
