# Sources for News

[1]

[Note: Respondents could name up to three sources.]

In addition to the New York Times, other newspaper websites are popular as well: with USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post rounding out the top newspaper websites visited. These three sites also tend to rank within the top 10-15 news websites overall.

The big nationally known outlets are also named most frequently as *new* sources for news on the tablet. Among the one-third of respondents who reported turning to new sources, USA Today-a fully free app-CNN and The New York Times topped the list.

Tablet news organizers like Flipboard and Pulse, accounted for 9% of new sources named.
