Local News on the Move
Adults who get local news and information on mobile devices are more likely than others to feel they can have on impact on their communities, more likely to use a variety of media platforms, feel more plugged into the media environment than they did a few years ago, and are more likely to use social media:
• 35% of mobile local news consumers feel they can have a big impact on their community (vs. 27% of other adults)
• 65% feel it is easier today than five years ago to keep up with information about their community (vs. 47% of nonmobile connectors)
• 51% use six or more different sources or platforms monthly to get local news and information (vs. 21%)
• 75% use social network sites (vs. 42%)
