Study Suggests Growth of Internet is Good for Newspapers More Americans are using the Internet than they did four years ago, according to a recent survey of the public's use of various media, including the Internet, newspapers and television news. Use of the Internet has jumped from 7 percent in 1995 when a similar study was conducted to 34 percent today. Ohio University researchers asked a national random sample of 815 people about their media use, including how many days a week they use each medium. Because of the Internet's growth in the last four years, researchers repeated the survey to identify changes in media use, Stempel says. Although television remains the most popular medium, it has lost some viewers in the past four years. Local TV news use fell from 70 percent in 1995 to 61 percent in 1999. Network TV news dropped from 68 percent to 61 percent. Of the three traditional media, daily newspaper use showed the smallest decline, dropping from 61 percent in 1995 to 58 percent in 1999.
