Citizens in developed nations now rely on the Internet more than
any other medium for news coverage. This trend* first became apparent in the early 2000s,
when radio was overtaken by Internet usage. The rapid shift towards web-based
information then began to affect print media, with newspaper sales being
heavily impacted.
By
2014, the trend has continued, with even television now having less reach when
it comes to news reporting. Television and the Internet are in fact converging
together as one. Social media, mobile technologies and exponential bandwidth
improvements have driven much of this change.
