Nielsen: Traditional media consumption rises with the internet

The continued rise of internet usage has failed to dent consumers’ time spent on traditional media such as TV, newspapers and radio.  

According to Nielsen’s 2010 Internet & Technology Report,  the average Australian internet user spent 17.6 hours per week online last year, up from 16.1 hours in 2008.

Overall however, almost half of internet users (49%) surveyed multi-tasked television and the internet at the same time, and 39 per cent multi-tasked radio and the internet.

Internet users spent 13.4 hours per week watching TV last year, which was a rise from 12.9 hours in 2009.
