It’s because of the increase of Smart Phones…Apple has sold more Iphones in the last year…than they’ve sold in Macs since they started manufacturing them!

It’s interesting that the mobile-device-consumption rate went up so much. I wonder if it was due to things like Flipboard or if it was because of the iPad and other tablets becoming more mainstream.

Main drawback I see is that a lot of the news sources feeding social media channels are far from reliable versus news coming from a mainstream news source say a BBC or a CNN. So people relying on social media sites for news are not necessarily accurately informed.

Pew study is very informative, however we believe a more accurate picture of newspaper media usage in any demographic is reflected in the data from Scarborough Research. Their study includes more than 200,000 adult respondents. Based on that extensive, detailed dataset, the newspaper audience totals more than 101 million U.S. adults (18+) — 43% of the U.S. adult population — who read or look into a daily newspaper or visit a newspaper website on an average weekday. Scarborough is the primary source used by media buyers to define the newspaper audience and gauge newspaper reach.

I fully agree that news consumption, whether it be mobile or social is the new norm for getting information. Just think about it. Back in the day you wanted to come home and catch the news or wake up in the morning to catch the weather or look through TV guide to see when your favorite movie comes on. Now, all of this is done through a few swipes at your phone. I can get notifications about the weather and news while driving. It’s amazing how fast things change.

The big advantage of the new social & mobile world is the fact that a bi-directional communication between customers and providers is possible. Nowadays consumers can actually tell companies what the want, what they like and also what they don’t like…

one of the real problem with tv news, you are not able to get what you really want to know in quick time and thats not a case with internet users. And with growth of smartphones in recent days, it is widely known fact that internet consumption in every section of internet has increased.
