When I sent this link to a client, they called to thank me. Now, I’m sharing this news I got from MediaPost about a BIGResearch report on new media  with you. Here’s a quick clip:

When compared to a year ago, Instant Messaging and Blogging experienced double digit growth for purchase influence of electronics while Broadcast TV and Cable showed a double digit decline. Not only is influence of new media growing, it is much more influential among minority groups, says the report. Influence of new media is higher for Hispanics and African Americans across all new media forms compared to all adults.
