READ THE PASSAGE
Read the passage and study the graph to learn about the popularity of news sources.
News Sources Over Time
Every other year, Ms. Kumar’s eighth-grade social studies class takes a poll in the 
community to find out how people get their news. They ask the same number of people in each 
age group which of the following media they access at least once a week for news: printed 
newspaper, radio, television, or the Internet. People can choose more than one medium if they 
access more than one. The students then add their data to Ms. Kumar’s existing graph so they 
can study the trends. Here is the class graph from 2010.
