Suggested answer:

The pie charts compare the main news sources for teenagers, young adults and old people according to a survey in 2022.

Overall, television was a very popular source of news for all age groups. It was the top news source for old and young adults, chosen by 42 percent of old people and more than one third of young adults and teenagers. Meanwhile, online news sites were chosen by the majority of teenagers, with more than 50 percent. By contrast, the Internet was the least common news source for old people, with just 6 percent. On the other hand, printed newspapers were the main news source for 29 percent of old people while only fewer than 10 percent of young adults and teenagers reported getting their news from them.

As for other sources of news, around a quarter of young adults and old people relied on other sources for news, as opposed to only 4 percent of teenagers.
