""Traditional national and local outlets continue to stand out as a trusted source, but people, especially younger audiences, are also building relationships with younger creators they believe are transparent and authentic. That reality has enormous implications for the future of news.""
""The new poll points to the pervasiveness of social media in teenagers' lives and shows how more teens are consuming their news from these platforms or independent content creators, rather than directly from national or local news sources.""
A national study reveals that 57% of U.S. teenagers aged 13 to 17 get news from social media daily, compared to 36% of adults. Additionally, 57% of teens seek information from influencers or independent creators, while only 43% of adults do. This trend highlights the growing influence of social media in teenagers' lives and their preference for nontraditional news sources over traditional journalism. Although traditional outlets remain trusted, younger audiences are forming connections with creators they perceive as authentic, which could significantly impact the future of news consumption.
