Currently, all the people have a phone to use that media. My phone is one year old but the last one was 4 years old. The most popular phone is Iphone, but it isn't the better phone...
But that media can be addictive and that shouldn't be habit.
Before now the news was physical in the newspaper or on the radio and nowadays the news is on-line for exemple on Gooogle (http://elpais.com) and Youtube.
However, what has changed is how many people read and see the news. It is faster and you can read or lisent wherever.
News on the internet are more read because you don't have to go out and buy a newspaper. They have more pictures, more color and more opinion.
But what hasn't changed is the News; it is the same as ten years ago for exemple politics, wars, murders and crime.
