Infographic: TV Remains the World's Number 1 News Source

Infographic: TV Remains the World's Number 1 News Source | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it

Despite the rise of websites and search engines as alternatives to „classic“ news sources such as television, newspapers and the radio, the TV is still the news source most people around the globe rely on. That’s the result of a global survey of more than 30,000 online consumers across 60 countries conducted by Nielsen.

When asked where they get the news, 53 percent of the global respondents named the television as one of their go-to sources. Search engines and social media sites were the second and third most popular choices with newspapers relegated to fourth place.

Not surprisingly, news preferences vary across different generations. However, TV is the most popular choice for Millennials (21-34), Gen Xers (34-49), Baby Boomers (50-64) and the Silent Generation (65+) with Generation Z respondents (15-20 years old) the only ones favoring social media sites over TV for news consumption....

But if we can acknowledge some hard truths, we will all be okay.

I'm not sure I agree with everything Will Federman says, but I do agree with the points about branding and the BuzzFeed example.

U.S. news readers less engaged when referred by Facebook - study | Reuters

U.S. news readers less engaged when referred by Facebook - study | Reuters | Readin', 'Ritin', and (Publishing) 'Rithmetic | Scoop.it

(Reuters) - Readers of some of the top U.S. news sites are more engaged when they go directly to the website rather than throughFacebook, according to a study from the Pew Research Center released on Monday.


The research found that users who come directly to a news site spend about three times as long per visit, or almost five minutes on average. Those who find the news by searching or throughFacebook spend about two minutes.

 

Direct visitors also view about five times as many pages per month as those coming through Facebook referrals or through search engines such as Google Inc.

 

The study is revealing because increasingly news organizations are relying on social media platforms to distribute content especially to reach younger readers.

 

Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

This is not surprising to anyone who watches their own stats. Social media sites like Facebook consist of members who are more inclined to look at photos and "click" like without even reading text, let alone clicking a link and really reading the article.
