The bar chart demonstrates the media types that people of different age groups take advantage of in order to acquire daily news in one country in 2011.
Overall the usage of social networks lessen significantly as the age groups get higher, on the other hand radio micro-blogging stays the lowest and only decreases for the older ages.
As demonstrated in the charts 80% of kids, teens and young adults age groups (10-17), (18-29) utilize social networks to gather daily news, however this number almost gets cut in half for the people aged 30 to 49 at 50% and for the folks over the age of 65 usage of social networks is only 10%
On the contrary, only 40% of kids and teens (10-17) turn to the radio for daily news, while this figure spikes dramatically for older demographics. For the 18-29, 30-49, and 50-64 age groups, radio consumption remains consistently high at around 95%. Similarly, for the senior citizens aged 65 and over, radio stays the most popular source at roughly 88%.
Regarding micro-blogging, it is clear that this media type is the least popular across almost all generations. Only 20% of the youngest cohort (10-17) use it, and it peaks slightly at approximately 25% for young adults aged 18 to 29. After this peak, the numbers steadily decline, dropping to roughly 13% for the 30-49 age group, under 10% for those aged 50 to 64, and reaching a negligible low of just 2% for the elderly population over 65.
