INTERNET browsers are more likely to call up news and current affairs on the web than home in on chat rooms, a new report suggested today.

Research for broadband provider Pipex found that a third of computer users had a news or current affairs site as their home page.

The top three home page items for men were news, sports and weather, while for women it was more likely to a photograph of their partner or children.

The poll of 1,000 adults found that people in Wales and the South West were most likely to have a family picture on their screen when they log on to the internet.
