A survey conducted in March 2022 revealed that social media feeds or messaging services were the main news source among Gen Z teens and adults, with 51 percent and 33 percent respectively reporting getting news daily via social platforms. Gen Z teens, those aged 14 to 19 years old, were more likely to use social media for news than their slightly older peers, but consumption was similar across both groups in the sense that news sites were the least popular option and news from search engines was preferred to TV news.
