The bar chart illustrates the proportion of people in different age groups who accessed new daily through three different mediums-radio, social networks, and microblogging in a particular country in 2011.
Overall, it is clear that radio was the most popular choice among most individuals. Social media was more preferred by young people, whereas microblogging was the least used across all age groups.
The percentage of individuals in the age ranges of 18-29, 30-49, and 50-64 who used radio to get daily news in a certain nation in 2011 was approximately 95%, the highest among all age groups. The rate was slightly lower for the 55+ age group, about 80%. In contrast, teenagers showed less interest in radio, with only half the percentage recorded, dropping to 40%.
Young individuals aged 10-17 and 18-29 both had a preference for social media, with 80% usage in both age groups. The 10-17 age group had a higher percentage than radio usage, while the percentage dramatically decreased in the subsequent age groups. Individuals aged 30-49 saw a decrease of around 35 points, reaching 45%, while those aged 50-64 had a comparable percentage. The data for individuals aged 65+ showed a significant decline, dropping to just 10%.
Microblogging was the least preferred option to get news on a daily basis: while the shares of younger people (10-29) were 20% or over, the figures for the remaining age brackets were lower than 20%.
