Zogby: Half of Americans Say Blogs Are Important
Folks in the media business (86% of them, anyway) are more inclined to say blogs are important versus the mainstream public, where only half say so. Still, that means there are four times as many people who say “blogs are important” as there are people who read newspapers. From the Guardian UK:
“John Zogby, president and CEO of Zogby International, gave some stats that showed the different view of the media inside and outside the industry.
- Only 27% of the public said they were satisfied with the news but 76% of people inside it are satisfied.
- Only 12% of the public read newspapers but 26% of the industry reads them.
- 32% of the public get their news from Tv but only 5% of the media does.
- 40% of the public gets their news form the internet but 60% of the media industry does.
- Just over half the public said blogs are important but 86% of the media said they are.”
