Pew: Young People Prefer Reading News, Not Watching It
Maybe youth isn't wasted on the young after all.
According to a new study from the Pew Research Center, young people prefer reading the news over watching it. When asked how they prefer to get their news, 42 percent of those aged 18 to 29 said “reading.”
While we agree—every time we’re forced to watch a video we come away thinking “That would’ve been better as an article”—the great video push is far from over.
Overall, more Americans still prefer to watch the news (46 percent) than to read it (35 percent).
