The way younger people get their news looks a lot different than it did a generation ago.  

For many millennials and Gen Z, it’s not about watching the 6 o’clock news or reading the headlines in the Sunday paper. 

Instead, it might be watching a quick video on TikTok, spotting a trending post on Instagram or listening to a favorite podcast on a commute.
