In the age of social media, a Reuters Digital News Report in June 2025 found that social media and video platforms in the US eclipsed traditional media as news sources for the first time.
The report showed that 54 percent of those surveyed used platforms such as Facebook, YouTube and TikTok for news during the previous week, up from 27 percent in 2023. Only 50 percent relied on TV, while 48 percent looked at news websites or apps.
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.
The move towards social media was strongest in the US and Brazil, where 34 percent and 35 percent of respondents, respectively, described it as their ‘main’ source of news, followed by the United Kingdom, France, Denmark and Japan.
The report found that individual online influencers, most of them right-leaning, are also reaching large numbers of news consumers.
More than one-fifth of US respondents said they had seen podcaster Joe Rogan discuss the news during the week following US President Donald Trump’s inauguration, while 12-14 percent encountered Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens or Ben Shapiro.
