Visualized News Consumption on the Rise due to Smart Devices and Social Media

'By Nicholas49 and Nick16. Two iPads 

Over the past few years, the consumption of visualized news has been on the rise. News that use pictures and videos have begun to be more appealing over the past few years due to the rise of the tablets and smartphone as well as social media.

Social Media Sharing leads to higher consumption of visual news

From the 60% of people that use Facebook, more than half use are using it for news. On social media sites, much of the news stories shared are news stories that use pictures or video to tell a story. One example of this is the use of Huffington Post and Buzzfeed. In the United States, 17% of consumers use Huffington post a week while 5% use buzzfeed with many of these views coming from social media. The UK uses both a little less (9 and 3 percent respectively), however they are still the top two countries in using these visual news sites.



Increase in Device Usage leads to Increased Visual News Consumption

In this day and age, nearly everyone has some type of smart device.
