During a study fielded in Argentina at the beginning of 2021, around 61 percent of responding internet users aged between 35 and 44 years said they accessed news on Facebook. Less than half of respondents from the 18-24 age group reported doing the same. Overall, more than one-third of internet users in Argentina used WhatsApp for news consumption in 2021.

The source adds the following information: "... online samples will tend to under-represent the news consumption habits of people who are older and less affluent, meaning online use is typically over-represented and traditional offline use under-represented. In this sense, it is better to think of results as representative of the online population."
