According to the Pew Internet and American Life Project, about 50 million Americans turn to the Internet for everyday news consumption. As broadband penetration continues to increase, online news consumption will follow suit. Internet penetration generally has grown from 58% of adults in 2002 to 70% by the end of 2006; this accounts for an additional one-third of the increase in online news consumption.
