Where do consumers get their breaking news? According to an August 2014 study from the Newspaper Association of America (NAA) conducted by comScore, 80% of US adult internet users accessed digital news content. In terms of unique visitors, the digital newspaper audience came in at 164 million this past August—an 18% year-over-year increase.
One reason for the growth? Mobile devices.

But not all mobile users had ditched their PCs—the number of readers who looked at digital news via mobile and nonmobile devices rose 48%. Read the rest at eMarketer.
