WHERE DO WE GET OUR

NEWS?
WHATS THE FUTURE?

How do Americans get their

news?
People can get the news from the tv,
newspapers, radio, smart phones, and
tablets. The majority of young people
however, view the news from online.
About 50% of the public chooses the
internet for news consumption instead
of reading newspapers, or by listening
to the radio.
71% of people that were aged 18-29 use
the internet as a main source of news.
Meaning, the younger demographic of
people in America is gravitating
towards the internet instead of
watching the tv for daily news. One
reason why is because you can watch or
read about the news whenever you want
to online, instead of having to wait for
the newspaper to come, or wait for news
channels on tv to air. A person could
even watch live news events online as
it's happening.
Among the ways younger people are
viewing the news is through different
social media sites, such as Facebook for
example. In 2012 19% of Americans
consumed the news this way.

Half of Americans own either a smartphone, or a tablet. 62% of the people who owned smartphones
stated that they had used their phone to get the news, and 64% of tablet users got the news through
their tablet. While on a smartphone or tablet, they can read in-depth articles, and watch videos.
Although it is easy to get the news from online, it isn't always the best source. 65% of people who get
news online said the news organizations are politically biased, and 73% say the news focused too
much on unimportant stories. So, be cautious when searching for news online.

John Stewart leaving The Daily

Show
At the end of the year, John Stewart is
leaving his show called The Daily Show.
The Daily Show is a late-night show
that shows current news events in a
different way, by using comedy.
The general crowd that watched the
Daily Show were reportedly being
mostly on the younger side, while news
shows usually draw in the older aged
people.
39% of The Daily Show viewers were
between the ages of 18 and 29 years old.
Which is a larger percentage of young
audiences viewing a news program than
the morning news for example.
Along with there being a large amount
of young viewers watching The Daily
Show, it also had a larger amount of
liberals tuning in. 43% of the viewers
were liberals who watched daily.
So, what will happen when John
Stewart stops bringing the news to
audiences?

One result is that people will have to get their news in the other ways such as watching it on another
show that interests them.
What is supposed to be the result, is that someone new will replace John Stewart when he retires,
and the show will go on. Some of the names floating around as who should be his replacement are
John Oliver, Jessica Williams, or Samantha Bee. Which were people who had appeared on the show
before.
