The bar chart delineates the proportion of three main media types used by people aged 10 to 65 and over to get their daily news in 2011.
Overall, microblogging was the least preferred source of news across all age groups, while radio was the most popular among older individuals. In contrast, social networking dominated among younger people but declined significantly with age.
To elaborate, in 2011, approximately 90% of people aged 30 and above relied on the radio for daily information. However, among those aged 10 to 17, this figure was only around 40%. Meanwhile, microblogging consistently remained the least favored option, with only 10% to 20% usage across all age groups.
Regarding social networking, it was the most widely used platform among teenagers and young adults (18-29), with both groups showing an 80% usage rate. However, its popularity declined significantly with age, dropping to about 50% among those aged 30-49 and further decreasing to only 20% among the 65+ group.
In summary, while younger individuals preferred digital platforms such as social networking, older generations primarily relied on traditional media like radio for daily news consumption.
