The unstoppable rise of social media as a source for news

Recently, Facebook changed the calculation behind its news food, striking apprehension into the hearts of numerous web publishers and causing widespread panis in the media business. 

Alright perhaps not exactly, but rather the change surely didn't go unnoticed. Also, the response it got, mirrors the new reality: social networking by and large, and Facebook specifically, are presently important sources of activity for news outlets. 

The reason is basic: that is the place where individuals, especially youngsters, get a large portion of their news. Results from a study of more than 2,000 Americans by Deloitte released it on the 22nd of April just to reinforce the point. 

As should be obvious in the GIF above,  TV is still the most prevalent news stage over all age sections.

Yet in the more youthful age bunches, not by much. For millennials matured 14 to 25,  TV and social networking are neck and neck (28% and 26%, individually), the survey found. In the event that these patterns hold up, TV might soon surrender its memorable position as the overwhelming social medium in the United States.
