More than one-fifth of news consumers surveyed engaged with podcaster Joe Rogan, Reuters Institute says.
Social media and video platforms have eclipsed traditional media as news sources in the United States for the first time, a report has found.
Fifth-four percent of surveyed Americans used platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and TikTok for news during the previous week, up from 27 percent in 2013, the report by the Reuters Institute showed on Tuesday.
Only 50 percent relied on TV, while 48 percent looked at news websites or apps, according to the 2025 Digital News Report.
Young people drove the shift, with 54 percent of Americans aged 18-24 and half of those aged 25-34 choosing social media and video platforms as their “main” source of news.
