Increase Audience Engagement with Snips Trending News

Today, more and more people are relying on social media to find the latest news and trending stories. In fact, according to recent research reported by the American Press Institute, 88% of millennials are getting their news from Facebook at least occasionally, while 83% from YouTube, 50% from Instagram, and 20% from Twitter. Even more interestingly, 70% of those on Facebook reportedly click or engage with news stories or headlines posted by other people. They also participate in news in ways that are not entirely possible in more traditional platforms. Meanwhile, the the number one reason Twitter users say they use the social platform is to see what’s “trending” and what people are talking about.
