  • Nearly half (47%) of social media users read their news on Facebook, according to research by the international newswire, Reuters
  • The interactive data for the research also suggests that around 50-per-cent of people read their news on the PC and the same amount read it on their phones
  • It also shows that the number of people accessing stories on a news app has increased from 23-per-cent in 2016 to 27-per-cent in 2017

 

In other social media news…

  • Users can also print their Instagram snaps using the machine and apparently it’s one of 20 available to use in Russia
  • Given the way that social media has developed, from interacting with others to creating a personal brand out of photos, it seems only a matter of time before one of the devices heads over to the UK
