A survey conducted by Elite Daily and the Millennial Research Core shows that most young adults are getting their news online as opposed to broadcast or print. According to the study, 83-point-four percent of young adults said that their primary source of news is either an online-only news site, websites managed by traditional news media organizations, Facebook, Twitter or other social media. Three-point-one percent said they get their news from print. Five-point-seven percent said they get their news in other ways. Some believe using online sources is easier and more practical.
