More Than 80% of US Adults Get News On Their Phones (axios.com)

Posted by msmash on from the changing-patterns dept.

An anonymous reader shares a report: More than 80% of U.S. adults get news on their phones -- up from roughly half of Americans just four years ago, according to a new survey from Pew Research Center. Most of that growth comes from adults older than 65 whose news consumption via mobile spiked almost 25% in the last year, and has tripled over the past four years.

    How is this newsworthy? And I actually looked at the article, and there's no additional content there.
     
    It was newsworthy when we switched from newspapers and the nightly news to the internet, for sure. But why would anyone care what device people use to get their internet news? Does the smaller screen of the phone change the meaning? (And no, that's a rhetorical question. There is no additional content in the article which would add anything remotely of value.)
