News consumption in Italy - statistics & facts
The way Italians get news has changed. Italy’s iconic kiosks, once a place to meet with other members of the community, buy a newspaper, and catch up with friends, are losing both sales and purpose. Meanwhile, social media is now a key source of news and information. In fact, reading news stories ranks as the most popular reason for Italians to use social networks. Unfortunately for small news business owners, recovery seems unlikely in an age where the internet is the primary source of news and information, and paying for news in general is not commonplace, either.
