From 2006 to 2012 there has been a significant decrease in the percent of 18-29 year old Americans who watched news on television. During this same time span, television news audiences remained relatively stable for all other age groups. However, the significant decrease in younger Americans watching news on television might indicate future changes in television news trends.
