Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism: Understanding the Participatory News Consumer

Very interesting research from the Pew Forum surveying people’s use of the Internet as a news source.

But check this comment out:-

Asked what subjects they would like to receive more coverage, 44% said scientific news and discoveries, 41% said religion and spirituality, 39% said health and medicine, 39% said their state government, and 38% said their neighborhood or local community.

41% wanted more coverage of religion and spirituality! Who would have guessed that one?

Blogs are a growing but still relatively underutilized influence on today’s religious discourse, according to a study of the religious blogosphere by the Social Science Research Council.
