During a survey fielded in Chile at the beginning of 2024, almost half of responding internet users aged between 45 and 54 years reported accessing news on Facebook. Among respondents from the 18-24 age group, the share stood at 14 percent. Furthermore, a little over one-third of internet users in Chile used WhatsApp for news consumption in 2023.

The source adds the following information: "... online samples will tend to under-represent the news consumption habits of people who are older and less affluent, meaning online use is typically over-represented and traditional offline use under-represented. In this sense, it is better to think of results as representative of the online population."
