March 30, 2023 Alan Cross 0 Comments 0 min read

New data from Statistics Canada (via FYI Music News) shows how we Canadians tend to get our news. The information was gathered from a 2020 study called the General Social Survey on Social Identity.

In a shock to no one, we tend to go to the internet most often.

Internet: 80%
Television: 67%
Radio: 40%
Newspapers: 36%
Magazines: 11%

If you have a university degree, you probably went to the internet for news even more.

Internet: 90%
Newspapers: 46%
Magazines: 17%

There’s a nice infographic that goes along with this. Click here to embiggen.
