Where do you get your news?

A study by Pew Project for Excellence in Journalism found that more American are getting their news online. Some use a search engine like Google or Yahoo. As PEJ noted: "Google remains the primary entry point. The search engine accounts on average for 30% of the traffic to these sites." Other people have a favorite site that they visit over and over again like USA Today, NYT, or The Washington Post. The importance of Facebook in news was clear:

For five of the news Websites studied here, Facebook ranked as the second or third most popular driver to their content. At the top was Huffingtonpost.com, which derived 8% of its traffic from links to Huffingtonpost.com content posted on Facebook. At the low end were AOLNews.com, MSNBC.com and the local aggregator Topix, which each derived 1% from Facebook. The New York Times was near the higher part of the spectrum; 6% of its traffic came from Facebook(PEJ, May 9, 2011).
