More than half of UK adults are accessing news content online, another milestone in the switch from reading newspapers and magazines to picking up tablets and smartphones. 2013 marks the first time that the majority of adults – 55% – have used the internet to read or download news from sources including newspapers and magazines, broadcasters such as the BBC, or online-only websites such as the Huffington Post, according to a report on how British households use the internet, published by the Office of National Statistics on Thursday.
