Where do Canadians get their news from? Which devices do they use to access news? Which social media are used to read, comment and share news content?

This publication summarizes some key findings on those topics from the Canadian data of the Digital News Report 2026 study.

Results show that YouTube is still the most widely used platform to watch news-related videos in the week before the survey (35%), ahead of Facebook (27%) or news websites and apps (22%). YouTube is also the only social media platform where the consumption of shorter news videos (less than 2 minutes) is not predominant.

Other documents highlighting the data from the Digital News Report will be published in the coming months.

A French version of this document is also available on our website.
