Industry Ad Campaign

Gen Y and Gen Z read newspapers.

Younger generations are powering a shift in consumption habits, whether it is through print/e-papers, podcasts or smart speakers.

Gen Y (Millennials), born between 1980 and 1995 (age 27-42), account for almost 30% of the adult population now.  And they are also the strongest consumers of news and newspapers – nine out of ten report reading a newspaper on any platform over the course of a week.  Gen Z are between 19-26 years old, and account for a smaller portion of the population (about 10-15%), but they are also strong readers.

These results are based on research released in 2023, part of a national study managed by Totum Research on behalf of News Media Canada.  Online interviews were conducted with 2,755 adults across Canada in November and December 2022.
