According to a survey held in the United States in the summer of 2023, almost 60 percent of Gen Z adults used social media as their primary source of information about the 2024 presidential election. Gen Z were noticeably the heaviest users of social media news about the election, whereas boomers preferred TV news. Engagement with election news via newspapers was lowest among Gen Z but similar across older adults, and network radio news was overall the least popular information source among all respondents.
