News consumption

04 October 2024

Cartoon showing a sign that reads 'news consumption' with an arrow pointing left with the text 'younger than 40' and an arrow pointing right with the text 'older than 40'. To the right, older people are reading newspapers alongside a newspaper rack that is labeled 'journalism'. On the left young people are standing in line in front of a carousel with people riding giant smartphones. The carousel has a giant TikTok logo in the center. In the back, the carousel operator is Xi Jinping, sitting in a booth labeled 'infotainment'. Next to the booth is the Chinese flag on a pole and a trash bin with newspapers in it.

Dutch research shows 78% of young people use social media as their main source of news. Probably not much different in other countries. Cartoon for Trouw.
