Television is the primary source of news about the economy, more than newspapers, the Internet and other sources, according to a survey conducted for the Donald W. Reynolds National Center for Business Journalism.
Forty-eight percent of respondents said they rely primarily on television for their economic news, while 21 percent cited newspapers, 16 percent the Internet, 8 percent radio and 7 percent ‘other.’ Of those who specified television, 56 percent said the coverage was good, 6 percent said excellent, 30 percent only fair, 5 percent poor and 3 percent ‘not sure.’
Six in 10 respondents said they have made financial decisions based on economic news received from media sources.
