How Gen Z's Love of Social Media and Content Will Change Media
As a whole, we are consuming more media than ever before, and the group that is consuming the most is Gen Z. Awesomeness TV recently conducted a survey with Trendera where they studied 1,000 young adults between the ages of 13 and 17, and the findings were remarkable.
In the study titled, "Gen Z: Leaders of the Mobile Social Movement," Awesomeness TV found that Gen Z watches around 68 videos a day. They watch to relieve stress, to laugh, to pass the time, and to cure boredom. And in terms of where they are watching, Gen Z loves Youtube.
For watching short form videos, 46% of those surveyed preferred Youtube, with Instagram coming in second at 17%. And for long form video, Youtube pulled in 71%, with Facebook coming in second at just 9%.
With winter officially underway, a cup of tea is a perfect way to see off that cold. Fiona Hynes, corporate director of food and beverage at Arlo Hotels, joined Cheddar News to discuss the concept of high tea and the proper way to enjoy it. Executive Chef Michael King also demonstrated some treats to enjoy with tea.
Tom Smothers, half of the Smothers Brothers and the co-host of one of the most socially conscious and groundbreaking television shows in the history of the medium, has died at 86.
