More people are turning online for session news

SHANGHAI - The Internet has become the second most popular media source for local residents to get information about the annual sessions of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), a survey has found.

The poll, conducted by the media and public opinion research center at Fudan University, aimed at finding out how the public observed and evaluated this year's NPC and CPPCC sessions, which ended on the weekend.

"With a growing number of Internet users, the Internet has overtaken newspapers as the second most popular media tool to get information about the two sessions for the first time since we launched the survey in 2004," said Li Shuanglong, executive director of the research center.
