Research undertaken by the University of Canberra shows that television is still the biggest source of news for Australians, at 37 per cent. However, some 26 per cent of respondents to the annual survey said they use social media as a primary source of news, while just 23 per cent nominated online news as their main source for such content. The Digital News Report also found that nearly 50 per cent of Australians aged 18-24 identified social media as their primary source of news, compared with just eight per cent of people over the age of 65. In contrast, TV is the primary source of news for the 65+ age group, compared with only 18 per cent of the 18-24 age cohort.
