A survey on local news consumption in the United Kingdom found that local weather and local news and current affairs were the main types of local news used by consumers aged 16 years or older, although engagement varied substantially by age. Whilst more than 70 percent of adults aged 55 or above read or listened to local news and current affairs, for younger persons aged 16 to 24 years old the share dropped to below 50 percent. Younger consumers were overall the least engaged with local news, regardless of type.
