  • A majority of Canadians — 57% — still watches or listens to news at regular times

  • The rest check in from time to time. We call them “news grazers”

  • However, the number of Canadians who watches or listens at regular times is dropping

  • The trend supports the theory that checking in from time to time or browsing for news will increasingly become the norm, as news organizations provide news geared to this style of news consumption.

  • Not surprisingly, only 32% of 19–25 group are routine watchers; 67% are browsers. Young people are less likely to watch or listen at regular times. They are the heaviest Internet users and this medium is ideal for browsing or grazing.

  • The trend towards browsing is even more pronounced in the US. Slightly more than than half of viewers and listeners tune in at regular times. 5% more Americans than Canadians fall in the grazer category.
