From McKinsey Quarterly:

News consumption in the United Kingdom rose by 20 percent in the past three years, according to new McKinsey research. Average consumption has risen to 72 minutes a day, compared with 60 minutes in 2006—an increase driven almost entirely by people under the age of 35 (Exhibit 1). Two-fifths of those in this age group said they felt the need to be the first to hear the news, compared with just 10 percent of people aged 55 to 64.
