In 2024, the leading news source which respondents to a survey in the United Kingdom reported using the most was BBC One, with 43 percent of participants aged 16 or older saying that this was the source they used for news nowadays. This was 19 percentage points lower than in 2018, though still higher than that of ITV and Facebook. One to watch in the years to come will be TikTok, with only one percent reporting to use it for news in 2020, a figure which had jumped to 10 percent in 2023.
