Censis takes a picture quite coherent with the phenomena currently taking place on the sources of information.
It was found that young people prefer the internet , while the elderly watch TV for what concerns TG and information.
It seems a generational division given more by the digital divide than by a conscious choice….but the truth is somewhere in between.
Young people are probably tired of listening to the usual piloted information and not seeing tangible changes in the situation in the country, while the elderly do not trust the internet as they have perceived its extreme ” volatility” in terms of reliability of information sources.
TV has understood that it cannot continue to exist without being present on the network : we see that all the classic operators ( Rai, Mediaset, TI and others ) they are upgrading their platforms on the net.
The network , instead, controlled by who lists the results according to the question asked ( search engines ) although it does not represent an objectively reliable source, remains the only alternative to traditional channels , now perceived as “too close” to official power to know the truth.
….from the pan to the grill, ma… even in this passage of power ( from national controllers to internal controllers such as OTTs ), a small glimmer of truth and progress remains open: the awareness that what we get from our research is driven and therefore, instead of contenting ourselves with using the first page results, look for different sources and not be satisfied with the first results.
Freedom and true independence in choices passes through the effort of skimming the information.
