2014 rji mobile media research report 6: seniors more likely to read news on tablets, size appeals...
DESCRIPTION
Both tablets and smartphones are used by a majority of owners for keeping up with the news, but tablets are used for news by a much higher percentage of owners aged 55 or older than by those aged 18-34 (see charts 6.1 and 6.5), according to the latest mobile media survey from the Donald W. Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI). The opposite was found for news consumption on smartphones (see report 4, charts 4.1 and 4.5).TRANSCRIPT
