If you're a millennial that came across this story through social media, let's just say you're not alone. Millennials let news find them where they are, rather than going to find the news where it used to be — on television.

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism has released its annual news report, which finds that nearly twice as many U.S. citizens use social media as a weekly news source as did in 2013. And younger people are leading the charge: for the first time, social media topped TV as the main source of news for respondents aged 18-24 throughout the world.

The findings are hardly surprising: millennials are cord-cutting to a higher degree than anyone else — being plugged in all the time means it's easy to "happen upon news" by accident, as Pew reports. But the what this will mean for the future of news literacy is still up in the air as social media companies reconcile their new role as distributors & disseminators of media.
