The line graph gives information about the percentage of people getting news from four sources – TV, newspaper, radio, and internet – between 1995 and 2025.
Overall, the proportion of people using television, newspaper, and radio for news decreased significantly during the whole period, albeit at varying levels, whereas the reverse was true for the internet. Notably, although television was the most common source of getting news at the beginning, it was eventually surpassed by the internet at the end of the timeframe.
Starting with the most popular source of getting news, about 70% of people used television in 1995 before recording a downward trend, falling to below 60% in 2000. Although the proportion of TV increased slightly in 2010, it continued to decline noticeably, thereby ending the period at roughly 50% in 2025. By contrast, the reverse trend was observed with regard to the internet, the figure for which stood at 0% until 2000. Then, the percentage of internet users soared to nearly 60% in 2025, overtaking television in the process.
Similar trends were witnessed in newspaper and radio, which were used by about 55% of people in 1995. Afterwards, both sources experienced considerable downward trajectories by 2025, with the proportion of radio plummeting to just over 20%, while the percentage of newspaper decreased to almost 50%.
