The chart illustrates the proportion of people approaching news from TV, newspapers, radio, and the internet from 1995 to 2025.
Overall, the trend of using the internet will be upward, while the remaining sources will go down slightly overthe next 20 years.
Firstly, nearly 70% of people accessed news from television in 1995, making it the most popular medium at the time. However, this figure decreased to 60% in the early 2000s. In comparison, the percentage of people who obtain news from newspapers and radio remained around 50%, while the use of the Internet for news remained relatively inactive.
Secondly, in 1995, approximately 55% of people used newspapers and radio as their sources of news. However, this number steadily declined to around 30% in 2020. These two methods remained virtually unchanged for 25 years, since they first appeared in 1995.
Finally, although data on Internet usage for news consumption was not available in the first five years, it rapidly increased to 30% in the following 10 years. This is a remarkable increase and suggests that the Internet will become the most popular medium for accessing news.
