THE way people consume news has changed during the digital era.

But what's not in doubt is that Irish people remain serious newshounds and are glued to the latest developments both here and globally.

Research shows how our nation's love for news hasn't wavered, with 82 per cent of all adults reading a print or online news title every week.

That equates to 3.25million people either picking up a newspaper or clicking online to get their latest news fix.

At a time when fake news has flooded social media sites, the majority are still turning to trusted news sources for this.

However many of those polled say that traditional news titles could still do more to represent a changing Irish society.

The study shows that 2.74million people read a print newspaper every week, while 2.67million read a digital news title weekly.
