South Dakotans Tune In More Than Log On

The Argus Leader cites a Dakota Wesleyan University poll that found South Dakotans rely on more traditional avenues for news, rather than the internet:

South Dakotans look to traditional sources for their news at a far greater rate than Americans in general, a new study from Dakota Wesleyan University shows.

DWU polled 410 South Dakotans and found that the vast majority use television, radio and newspapers instead of the Internet.

Only 11 percent of South Dakotans said they had used the Internet for news in the past 24 hours. Other polls, such as one conducted by the Pew Research Center in 2005, said 24 percent of Americans use the Internet as a main source of news.
