A new Hill-HarrisX poll found that TV is still the most widely used news platform among Americans, despite the rise of the internet and social media.
According to The Hill, the survey showed that 53 percent of registered voters across the United States named TV as their primary source for news.
Less than a quarter — 21 percent — said they prefer to get their news from the internet.
An equal amount — 9 percent — said they’d rather turn to social media or newspapers for the latest news updates.
Six percent said they rather listen to the radio, while 1 percent said they prefer to get their news from magazines.
Older generations were understandably more inclined to name TV as their preferred mode for news.
Sixty-nine percent of those between the ages of 50 and 64 said they preferred to get their news by watching TV, compared to 34 percent of those between the ages of 18 and 34 who said the same.
The Hill-HarrisX survey of 1,001 adults, conducted Nov.30-Dec. 1, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
