SOCIAL MEDIA LOYALISTS: Sixty-one percent of Millennials, aged 18 to 33, said they got their news about politics and government from Facebook.

WASHINGTON: When it comes to political news, Millennials are more likely to turn to Facebook than their television-watching Baby Boomer elders, a Pew Research Centre study suggests. 

The Washington-based social research institute surveyed nearly 3,000 online adults to learn how Americans are informing themselves in the run-up to next year’s presidential election.
