"Print Readers Recall More Than Do Online Readers"


The following is the abstract from the article I'll be critiquing:

"From the arrival of the penny papers, print newspapers were around for more than 100 years when in the 1930s they saw their heyday as the media most used in the United States for news. But the Internet took less than 15 years to claim that mantle when, at the end of 2010, more people got their news from the Internet than from newspapers. This transformation raises questions anew about the effect that the Web is having on news readers. This study seeks to update past research by examining the difference in users' experience in both media—including recall, credibility and amount of story read—at a time when online news consumption has reached a tipping point."
