The given bar chart illustrates the use of different media types, including social networks, micro-blogging, and radio by five age groups, including 10 to 17, 18 to 29, 30 to 49, 50 to 64, and over 65 in a country in 2011.
Overall, the most common source of information was radio for all ages except teenagers from 10 to 17 years old, while micro-blogging was the least popular form of media across all age groups. In addition, the most common source of information for the youngest age group from 10 to 17 was social networks, while the reverse was true for the oldest age group over 65.
Observing closely, social networks were mainly used by people from 10 to 17 and 18 to 29, at 80% in both age groups. The figure for social networks became lower as the age groups increased, having only
10% of elderly people over 65 use it.
Radio, on the other hand, was most favored by the older populations. Particularly, 60% of people aged over 65 got their daily news from the radio, while only 20% of people aged 10 to 17 used this medium. The proportion of radio use for the other age groups was the same at more than 90%. Finally, micro-blogging has a modest percentage of 30% for the highest use of individuals from 18 to 29 and the lowest was nearly 0 for people over 65.
