Considering the trends in media consumption, what do you predict will occur in the next 20 years regarding U.S. adults' news consumption?
What will be an ideal response?
The ideal answer should include:
1. Television today, accounts for the primary news informational source for more than 40%, the largest of all news sources.
2. Online sources of political news account for about 93 percent.
3. Radio accounts for about half that of television. (The author does not address decline in radio.)
4. Considering that print news has experienced a dramatic and steady decline as a source of political information and that television also has had a steady decline, it can be argued that both of these sources will continue their decline into the future. Also, considering that the Internet is a relatively new medium and that newspapers and television stations have an online presence, together with new media such as blogs, social media platforms, and political websites, online news consumption will most likely continue to grow.
