The given bar chart below illustrates several types of media that people from 10 to 65+ often get daily news from in one country in 2011.
Overall, it is clear that, on average, microblogging is not a good choice for everyone, from young to old, to get news. In addition, except for the teenage age group, the other groups think the radio is the best way to get information from around the world.
In 2011, approximately 90% of people aged 18 to 65+ in that country spent time on the radio to get information, but only half of that was heard by people aged 10 to 17. When getting older, people tend to spend less time on social networks and read microblogging. Around 46% of people in the age group 30-49 use social networks, and about 12% use microblogging to update news, while older people rarely read blogs, and only 10% of people in this age group use social networks.
On the other hand, teenagers like to use social networks to update news rather than read it on blogs or hear it on the radio. Only 20% of them read blogs, and 40% of them hear news from the radio. Adults not only get news from social networks but also like to hear the news on the radio. The percentages of people who get news from social networks are similar, with the age group 10 to 17 at 80%, but the percentage of people who hear the radio is much higher than the teenager group, at 94% and 40%, respectively.
