Online news consumption has risen massively over the last 5 years with the percentage of adults buying a physical paper newspaper dropping to 38%. In a survey in 2019, 66% of adults got their news from online sources. This is more than the percentage who get their news from BBC1 which is at 58%. However, all the TV news stations combined are still the most popular way of adults consuming news at 75%. In addition to this, 50% of adults also consume news from social media because there is a large boom in social media usage. The internet is the most popular form of news consumption for people aged 16-24s at 82% as they find apps on their smartphones or follow news accounts on social media. This is personally what I do as I find it faster and more convenient than watching the news, especially when I am busy.
