TV losing ground, web gaining for political news

Californians’ reliance on TV for their political news is declining, while an increasing number of people are using the Internet for political coverage, according to a report from the Public Policy Institute of California. In 2007, nearly half of Californians — some 47 percent — relied on television for political coverage; today, it is 38 percent. Of those who go to television, nearly half rely on cable TV, according to the PPIC report, which included the findings of earlier statewide surveys.
