The bar chart depicts the percentage of people who accessed news through various media in a specific country between 2013 and 2017. Overall, while television remained the most popular news source throughout the period, there was a significant shift towards online news consumption, with traditional media like newspapers and radio experiencing a decline.
In 2013, television was the dominant medium, capturing approximately 80% of the news consumption market. However, its popularity began to wane, falling slightly to around 70% by 2017. Conversely, the internet and online devices experienced a surge in popularity, rising from 30% in 2013 to nearly 80% in 2017. This trend highlights the increasing reliance on online platforms for news consumption.

In conclusion, the data reveals a clear shift in news consumption habits over the five-year period. While television remains a significant source of news, the rapid growth of online media has fundamentally altered the media landscape.
