From taking classes and making purchases to keeping in touch with friends and family, the advent of the World Wide Web has truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives. Libraries and newsstands are becoming obsolete as more and more people turn to the Internet for up-to-date information. A recent survey by Pew Research center found that individuals who rely on the Internet to stay current on affairs tend to be more critical of mainstream media organizations. We at InFocus decided to ask our Muslim audience what sources they rely on for their news and information.
