📈Task 1: Graphs with a trend (Line Graph) - June 21, 2025
The line graph compares the proportion of people who accessed news through four different sources — websites, TV, print, and social media — in the USA from 2012 to 2015.
Overall, the use of social media for accessing news increased steadily over the period, while reliance on printed news declined sharply. In contrast, website and TV usage remained relatively stable, with websites consistently being the most common source of news throughout the period.
In 2012, TV and websites were dominant platforms for news access, with approximately 78% and 79% of users, respectively. TV usage rose marginally to 80% in 2013 and continued at this level until 2015. In comparison, website usage peaked at 79% in 2013 before declining slightly to about 75% by 2015, widening the gap between the two sources.
By contrast, only 20% of people consumed news via social media in 2012 — roughly half the proportion for printed news, which stood at just under 40%. The percentage of individuals who relied on social media for news increased gradually, doubling to 40% by 2015. Meanwhile, printed news saw a brief rise to 50% in 2013, before plummeting to 25% by the end of the period.
