In November Harper’s Magazine ran a graph showing the percentage of U.S. adults using four sources of news on a weekly basis from 2013 to 2025. The sources were TV, print, online news sites and apps, and social and video networks.
Here are the trends:
2013 2025
TV 72% 50% down 22 points
Print 47% 14% down 33 points
Online news
sites and apps 69% 48% down 21 points
Social and
video networks 27% 54% up 27 points
While we are on the topic, ten owners control 60% of the local daily newspapers in America. Gannett Corp. alone controls 215 dailies.
This explains a lot about the present state of affairs in our country.
