Information for them typically originates from friends, acquaintances, or social media platforms. On these platforms, influencers and stars with experience in the music, film, and sports industries serve as sources.<\/p>\n<p>According to researchers, however, a minimum level of information use and the associated processes of opinion formation and political participation are essential for a functioning democracy.<\/p>\n<p>This article presents ten key findings regarding the interests, usage practices, and attitudes of young people who are not very interested in information.
