BreakingNews·190730 - 年輕人不看電視新聞

Young people in Great Britain are watching less and less news on television. This is according to Ofcom, a regulatory body that oversees broadcasting practices in the UK. This comes as no surprise as young people become increasingly addicted to their smartphones. Youth are opting for online distractions like YouTube videos, social media and games rather than switch on a TV and watch a news programme. Britain's Guardian newspaper reported that: "The youth of the nation are more likely to get their day's news about the world from social media or by reading graffiti in bus stations than seeing it on the telly, with the average 16-24-year-old watching just two minutes' worth of live TV news per day."

英國的年輕人看電視的新聞越來越少。這是監(jiān)管英國廣播業(yè)務(wù)的監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)Ofcom的說法。這并不奇怪，因?yàn)槟贻p人越來越沉迷于智能手機(jī)。年輕人選擇YouTube視頻、社交媒體和游戲等在線娛樂，而不是打開電視看新聞節(jié)目。英國《衛(wèi)報》報道說:“這個國家的年輕人更有可能讓他們的一天的新聞關(guān)于世界從社交媒體或通過閱讀涂鴉在公交車站看到電視上,平均16-24-year-old看只有兩分鐘的電視新聞每天生活。”

Ofcom commissioned research into the news-viewing habits of people around the country. The report is called "News Consumption in the UK: 2019". The research suggests that young people are increasingly using social media as their primary news source. Researchers wrote: "There is evidence that UK adults are consuming news more actively via social media." They reported an increase in posts and comments on Facebook and Twitter about the news compared to last year. Ofcom suggested presenting news stories in a less complicated, more accessible way to attract young people's attention. Some people suggested this would be "dumbing down content for young audiences".

Ofcom委托對全國人民的新聞收看習(xí)慣進(jìn)行了調(diào)查。這份報告名為《英國新聞消費(fèi):2019》。研究表明，越來越多的年輕人將社交媒體作為他們的主要新聞來源。研究人員寫道:“有證據(jù)表明，英國成年人通過社交媒體更積極地閱讀新聞。”他們表示，與去年相比，F(xiàn)acebook和Twitter上有關(guān)這一消息的帖子和評論有所增加。Ofcom建議用一種不那么復(fù)雜、更容易理解的方式來呈現(xiàn)新聞故事，以吸引年輕人的注意。一些人認(rèn)為這將是“為年輕觀眾簡化內(nèi)容”。
