The line graph illustrates the percentage of people who accessed news from four different sources between 1995 and 2025.
Overall, television was the most widely used source at the beginning of the period, although it is expected to fall to second place by the end. In contrast, Internet usage started at a negligible level before rising sharply to become the dominant source. Meanwhile, newspaper and radio usage followed similar downward trends throughout the timeframe.
In 1995, television was the most popular medium, accounting for approximately 69% of news access. Although its figure declined to just under 60% by 2000, it recovered slightly to around 60% in 2010. Thereafter, TV usage decreased steadily, falling by about 10 percentage points and ranking second by 2025. By contrast, Internet access began at 0% in 1995 but increased rapidly over the period, reaching roughly 55% and becoming the leading source by the end.
Newspaper and radio usage were almost identical in 1995, at around 52% and 53% respectively. Both figures declined gradually over time, with each falling to approximately 50% in 2000. By 2025, newspapers and radio ranked third and fourth respectively.
