The charts demonstrate how people of different age groups get their news. The data was classified according to method and age ranges.
The initial impression from the chart is that television was significantly higher compared to other sources, with the highest figure to be recorded among the 55 and over group. It is also clear that radio witnessed similar figures in 35-55, 55 and over groups while younger adults received the lowest rates.
A great discrepancy is evident in the proportion of individuals getting the news from social media platforms. 60 percent of those who aged from 18-35, as opposed to only 20 percent in 55 and over ages, and there is also only 45 percent in the intermediate age group. When it comes to printed articles, the usage was much more negligible, with around 55 percent for the oldest group in comparison with 50 percent for 35-55 and 30 percent for the young.
A similar picture can be seen in radio use, although the differences are smaller. About 25 percent of young adults listen to radio news, while this figure rises to around 40 percent for both older groups. Television becomes the dominant source for two older categories, with approximately 90 percent in 55 and over group and 80 percent for those aged from 35-55, compared to about 60 percent of the youngest group.
