How do people get their #news?
As of 2025, a majority of people in the United States and other countries get their news from #digital devices, especially #socialmedia, video platforms, and news websites. Traditional sources like television and print are still used, but their influence has declined, especially among younger audiences who prefer social media and online influencers.
Digital news
Digital devices are the most common way Americans get their news, with 86% using a smartphone, computer, or tablet at least sometimes.
Social media
Social media surpasses TV: In the U.S., social media and video networks overtook TV news and news websites as the main source of news for the first time in 2025. This trend is also rising in many other countries.
Top platforms: Facebook and YouTube are the leading social media platforms for news, with about a third of U.S. adults regularly getting news from each.
Fastest-growing: TikTok has seen a significant increase in news consumption. In 2025, about one in five Americans regularly get news from TikTok, and more than half of its users do so regularly.
Dominant for young adults: A significant portion of younger adults, particularly those aged 18 to 29, get news primarily from social media.

#FBI
Mass exodus: Hundreds of FBI agents and staff were fired or left their positions as part of a government worker buyout program – GSHowever, other FBI personnel have been fired without clear reason, raising concerns about due process. Sources confirm that hundreds of FBI employees and agents were separated from the bureau on September 30, 2025, with some leaving voluntarily through a government-wide deferred resignation buyout program
Key details about the FBI employee exits:
Voluntary resignations: A “deferred resignation” program, spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), offered federal employees a buyout of roughly eight months’ salary and benefits. Employees who accepted the offer could remain on the federal payroll until their last day of service on September 30, 2025.
CBS News reported that 800 FBI employees, including several hundred agents, were leaving the bureau due to this program.
Accepting the buyout required employees to waive their right to legal action.Forced firings: Separately, some senior FBI agents and officials were reportedly ordered to resign, retire, or were fired without explanation, causing concern among veterans of the bureau. This includes some who oversaw key areas like cyber, national security, and criminal investigations.
An association representing FBI agents expressed deep concern about these firings, stating they were done without due process for agents they said were just “doing their jobs”.Political context: These personnel changes occurred amid broader efforts by the Trump administration to reduce the size of the federal government. This included the Department of Government Efficiency, headed by Elon Musk, offering buyouts to the entire federal workforce.
Rehiring efforts: Some federal agencies have begun rehiring workers who left through the buyout program, in some cases telling them that if they decline, they will forfeit severance.
The combination of voluntary buyouts and involuntary terminations has raised concerns about a loss of institutional knowledge at the FBI and other federal agencies.
