The supplied line chart demonstrates the proportion of people who received news from four different types of resources (TV, Newspaper, Radio, and Internet) between 1995 and 2025 in a specific area. The figures are given as a percentage.
It can be clearly seen that, except for the TV, which experienced an upward trend, other sources witnessed a downward trend during the period of time.
As is observed, the trends of Radio and Newspaper experienced almost the same situation between 1995 and 2025. Both of them decreased slowly from just under 60% and more than 50% in 1995 to marginally under 30%, and over 20% (respectively) in 2025.
On the flip side, the rate of individuals who watched TV news shows rapidly rose since 2000, and after a stable period, it then overtook 30% after 2010, afterward it increased significantly to more than 55% in 2025, and hit a peak. It could also overtake all other sources before 2025. Conversely, the internet, which had supported the highest proportion of people’s news before 2025, experienced a downward trend during that period. At first, it feel slowly from 70% to under 60% between 1995 and 2000, then it remained steady between 60% and 50% from 2000 to just before 2025, and finally, at the same tim,e it lost the 50% line and first position among all of the sources, and finally, in 2025, it hit a low.
