20% of audiences now rely on Social Media versus 16% who still prefer print newspapers
Television remains the most preferred news source at 49%, although down from 57% in 2016

9% of audiences surveyed specified they get their news from TV streaming devices
Radio inched up to 26% -- perhaps borrowing momentum from booming podcast demand
