Demographic Data From Nielsen: “Millennials on Millennials: TV and Digital News Consumption”
From Nielsen Newswire:
The current media landscape in the U.S. is fragmented, resulting in multiple ways for people to consume news and current events. Our media consumption continues to expand and this year, U.S. adults currently spend over 11 hours a day with media. That’s up from what we saw a year ago. Not surprisingly, our news appetite continues to grow in step with overall media consumption, and Millennials are no strangers to news, which reaches 95% of this demographic and 99% of those 38 and older. However, the older demographic spends three times longer engaging with national news in a year than Millennials.
