Hello everyone!
It seems there is a lot going on here these days, so I decided to come and see it for myself.
From today on, follow my activities here too!
A chart showing the proportion that say each is their main gateway to online news. The results are: Social media - 29%; Search - 25%; Direct - 22%; Mobile alerts - 9%; Aggregators - 8%; Email - 5% Social media is more important for younger users. Search is equally important for all age groups.
Social media is the main way for accessing online news, followed by search, according to our #DNR24. 22% mainly go direct to a news website or app.
Social media is more important to younger audiences, but search is important across age groups.

I have to go to bed, so sadly I'll miss the big moment, but knowing that when I wake up Bluesky will have reached its 20 million-user target is incredibly exciting to me, and I expect too many of you.
So glad this place is blossoming! And so glad to be experiencing its blossoming with all of you. π¦
