AI chatbots and TikTok reshape how young people get their daily news
The findings come from the Reuters Institute's annual Digital News Report, released this week. The Oxford University-affiliated study surveyed nearly 97,000 people across 48 countries to track how global news habits are shifting.
The study found that a notable number of people are using AI chatbots to read headlines and get news updates – a shift described by the institute's director Mitali Mukherjee as a 'new chapter' in the way audiences consume information.
While only 7 percent overall say they use AI chatbots to find news, that number rises among younger audiences – 12 percent of under-35s and 15 percent of under-25s now rely on tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini or Meta's Llama for their news.
'Personalised, bite-sized and quick – that's how younger audiences want their news, and AI tools are stepping in to deliver exactly that,' Mukherjee noted.
Beyond reading headlines, many readers are turning to AI for more complex tasks: 27 percent use it to summarise news articles, 24 percent for translations, and 21 percent for recommendations on what to read next. Nearly one in five have quizzed AI directly about current events.

Two-Decade Innovation Journey of MagneRide® Magneto‑Rheological Dampers
As a pioneer in automotive technology, BWI Group has carved out a legendary path of iterative breakthroughs at the very frontier of chassis engineering. MUNICH, July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--When BWI Group invented and launched the MagneRide® magneto‑rheological damper in 2002, the company has propelled MagneRide® on an extraordinary voyage of technical innovation—an adventure of innovation, challenge and bold breakthroughs. Every generation of MagneRide® embodies BWI Group's relentless pursuit of sharper vehicle dynamics and superior ride comfort. Constant innovation drives the company to perfect its craft, ensuring that each new iteration delivers a palpably better driving experience. MagneRide® has elevated vehicle handling and comfort while widening its reach from exotic super‑cars and premium nameplates to a far broader market. First Generation: Started from laboratory magic The story begins in a laboratory brimming with curiosity and ambition. In 2002 the first‑generation MagneRide damper was mass produced for the very first time, endowing the debut application—the Cadillac STS—with unprecedented handling prowess. Second Generation: Reinforced system favoured by super‑cars The second‑generation MagneRide® damper entered the market in 2006. Upgraded magneto‑rheological fluid and a newly designed piston armed the system for both enhanced comfort and assured control in varied conditions. Europe's top super‑car marques soon extended olive branches, validating MagneRide's unparalleled competitiveness in the high‑performance arena. Third Generation: Leap with speed & passion In 2011, the third‑generation MagneRide® damper's evolution came with dual‑coil technology pushing response frequency to 1,000 adjustments per second. Meanwhile, dual‑layer sealing made the system more durable, and slashed maintenance costs. Fourth Generation: Benchmark in smart‑drive era Arriving in 2020, the latest generation of MagneRide® suspension system once again stunned the industry and raised the bar for future mobility. Thanks to a cutting‑edge ECU, wheel‑end accelerometers and an IMU, magneto‑rheological fluid reacts in a lightning‑quick 0.5 millisecond. BWI Group's proprietary algorithmic refinements significantly enhance vehicle stability, ushering in a brand‑new driving paradigm. The latest MagneRide® suspension system endures more than 300,000 km of gruelling service and operates flawlessly in extremes ranging from −30 °C to 105 °C. It conquers every environment beyond the laboratory, and many flagship models have adopted the system. The fourth generation MagneRide® suspension system paves the way for boundless possibilities in automotive innovation. From the inaugural invention, through the benchmark‑setting fourth generation, every stride attests to BWI Group's tireless quest for technical excellence and precise understanding of market needs.
