Teens turn to TV, Internet for news

Half of all high school students get news online at least once a week, but teens rate TV the easiest-to-use news source - and the most accurate, says a study out Friday.

In the Future of the First Amendment study, which surveyed 14,498 students and 882 teachers at 34 high schools last spring, 45% of teens say TV is the best overall source of news, 44% think it's the most accurate and 43% think it's the easiest to use. Only 28% of teachers thought TV was the best news source, a distant second to newspapers' 48%.
