Meanwhile, only 19% of people used TV to know about local news in 1987, but this proportion was rising slowly and with some fluctuations to close in 37% in 1997.

Whereas, large amount of then tended to use newspapers to look for information about local news; it started in 56% of people, and was decreasing slowly with some fluctuations during those ten years, to close in 40% of people o read newspapers to find local news.
