Broadly speaking, that’s the conclusion of a study released Wednesday showing 79% of young Americans say they get news daily. The survey of young people ages 16 to 40 — the older of which are known as millennials and the younger Generation Z — was conducted by Media Insight Project, a collaboration between The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute.
The report pokes holes in the idea that young people aren’t interested in news, a perception largely driven by statistics showing older audiences for television news and newspapers. […]
An estimated 71% of this age group gets news daily from social media. The social media diet is becoming more varied; Facebook doesn’t dominate the way it used to. About a third or more get news each day from YouTube and Instagram, and about a quarter or more from TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter. Now, 40% say they get news from Facebook daily, compared with 57% of millennials who said that in a 2015 Media Insight Project survey. […]
Only 32% say they enjoy following the news. That’s a marked decrease from seven years ago, when 53% of millennials said that. Fewer young people now say they enjoy talking with family and friends about the news. …

Do you know who else follows news without much joy? EVERYBODY ELSE!
Particularly when they try to find news in it.

“Do you know who else follows news without much joy? EVERYBODY ELSE!”
You got that right.
Maybe because AP, Reuters, NYT, Comcast, Disney... suck ass?
Amen to that.

There is nothing positive happening i the world and if nothing bad is actually happening, they ramp up the fear porn over the latest crisis du jour.
It’s nothing but bad news from the MSM from beginning to end. What are people supposed to be happy about hearing?

They get pure Marxist propaganda. Fake news at its most evil. No joy in that.
Bingo.
Well put; they are miserable because they read carefully filtered/censored content thru their phones 24/7.
well
you can complain and do nothing
or
you can throw them out of the house
cut them off at the knees
defund them
cut the cable tv

How about:
"Survey finds people all look when large bloody train wreck occurs ... but without much joy."
Nobody is getting any joy at the moment.
