All age groups reported watching TV as one of their top two preferred sources of entertainment, but streaming services have overtaken traditional TV among those aged 14-32.
With less time spent watching free-to-air TV, millennials have turned to the internet for their news – if they follow it at all.
Social media (31%) led the way as the preferred news source for young people aged 14-26, with TV (19%) only just ahead of the 13% of respondents who ignore the news.
Millennials aged 27-32 prefer social media (25%) ahead of TV and online newspapers (both 17%).
Fast forward
Respondents are increasingly keen to pay to avoid online ads on entertainment products such as TV, movies and music (an average of 44%).
Just 28% said they would prefer to pay for news.
