84% of Gen Z use GenAI to interpret news: What it reveals about today's learners
There was a time when 'understanding the news' meant listening to a trusted anchor or pouring over the morning paper. Trust and context came from a handful of familiar voices, and the boundaries of interpretation were largely set by editorial judgement. That seems like an obsolete memory and the world is fading fast. A new cohort, born in an era of search engines, social feeds, and on-demand answers, is shattering those boundaries and building its own pathways to comprehension. Generation Z as the definition and news headlines often say is a generation that is altering the status quo of the society. They have something different to serve, sometimes in terms of workplace culture, and in other forms of learning. The latest Google–Kantar study delivers a telling statistic: 84% of Gen Z have used generative AI to make sense of the news they consume. This is not mere curiosity about the newest tech toy. It is an intentional, almost instinctive, act of reframing information, taking raw reports and filtering them through an intelligent system to extract meaning, simplify complexity, or bridge linguistic gaps. News as raw material, not a finished product Gen Z, defined as those born between 1997 and 2012, is the most connected generation in history. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Jolie-Pitt Family Shows Support For Shiloh's Change Drivepedia Undo Grown up with smartphones and internet accessibility, this generation thinks in a way that their predecessors could never try. Even in news, they disagree to believe what is presented, rather dig out the roots, and then pour into the depths. The study shows 38% turn to AI to fill knowledge gaps, 43% seek it for quick clarity, and 36% use it to translate content. These choices reflect a fundamental shift in mindset. The news is no longer a static product delivered by a newsroom; it is a fluid dataset that can be broken down, repackaged, and customised to fit the reader's own cognitive and cultural lens. A generation wary of blind trust While critics often claim younger generations trust online sources too much. But the numbers speak quite differently. Nearly half of Gen Z actively distrusts unverified reports, and 43% verify messages before forwarding them as suggested by the report. While the stakes are higher, stories involving health, safety, or money, scrutiny intensifies: 39% fact-check such claims, while 36% seek additional proof if none is presented. Interestingly, the habit is more pronounced outside metro cities, where 42% fact-check sensitive content compared to 37% in metros, suggests the Google-Kantar study. This hints at a widening spread of digital scepticism, one that extends far beyond the media-savvy urban elite. Creators, platforms, and the question of trust For news access, Gen Z is clear in its preferences: 91% favour social media, with video platforms close behind at 88%. Within that space, 48% follow creators, whether niche experts or civic commentators, while 43% choose established news organisations as the data survey reports. Yet when the issue is trust, legacy outlets still hold the edge, scoring 47% compared to 38–39% for creator-led content. The duality emphasises the Gen Z paradox: A hunger for personalised, engaging narratives, tempered by a recognition that credibility cannot be sacrificed. The language of connection While English remains the preferred reading language for 42% of respondents, the switch is dramatic when the format changes. In audio and video, local languages dominate, attracting 57% for their ease of understanding, emotional resonance, and shareability. This dual-language behaviour positions Gen Z as both global consumers and local custodians, equally comfortable in a streaming lecture from the US and a regional-language news recap on their phone. What this says about today's learners Taken together, these findings reveal a generation reshaping the architecture of learning. They are not passive recipients of information but active interpreters, curators, and verifiers. In classrooms, this approach can accelerate critical thinking and adaptability; in society, it can foster a more discerning public. But it also raises questions. When interpretation is outsourced to AI, does human judgment strengthen, or atrophy? Will the speed of machine-generated clarity crowd out the slow, sometimes messy process of forming independent perspectives? While, their dependence on AI is at surge, the uncertainty dwells whether it is crippling the present generation and handing over the powers to the artificial intelligence, or it is strengthening them to see beyond what is shown. All of it depends, on the way the technology is leveraged and integrated into the lives that will decide the fate of the current generation. Ready to navigate global policies?

Shiloh claims Teen Miss India Worldwide SA title
Newcastle's very own Shiloh Angel Sumair (15) is breaking barriers and defying the odds after winning Teen Miss India Worldwide South Africa. Shiloh recalled being announced as the winner she felt like time had stood still in her mind for a second…. 'All I could remember was the countless hours of hard work and it all finally paid off…. I couldn't have been prouder to stand on that stage representing my hometown,' she said, smiling. Shiloh's journey started after she made the Top 5 in the Miss Teen India NKZN then was selected for the national round, which she won. She was then selected to represent South Africa at the international finals, which will be hosted in Mumbai later this year. However, due to unfortunate circumstances, Shiloh will not be attending the international event this year. 'I won't pretend it's not disappointing, but I firmly believe that all of this, the pageant and the journey, is more about the message than the title, and the message is simple: just be unapologetically yourself,' she said. Shiloh believed that she had defied the conventional beauty standards and was very keen on using her platform to empower more women to follow suit. 'You don't have to fit into a certain mould to dominate that stage. It's not all about the crowns; instead, it's more about discovering your own voice,' she added. Shiloh's message to young girls is simple: 'Confidence is key. It isn't something you're born with; it's something you build, and always remember that you are enough.' Her passion for empowering women does not stop on the runway…. She has been the driving force behind her initiative called Pads4Pride, which distributes menstrual hygiene kits to girls in underprivileged communities. 'No girl should miss school or feel ashamed because of something natural,' she said. Shiloh urges members of the community to get on board and contribute towards the project by donating to the following account: Bank: Capitec Capitec Name: SA Sumair SA Sumair Acc no: 2037364578 2037364578 Branch: 470010 470010 Ref: Pads4Pride Shiloh does not want to only be known for her beauty; instead, she wants others to see the brains too, which is why she is aspiring to become a specialist gynaecologist. She is currently being mentored by a local doctor while balancing schoolwork, creative passions, and community outreach work. Family comments: I am bursting with pride, not because my daughter won, but because of the incredible young woman she has grown into. From the time Shiloh was just a toddler, I watched her give her toys to less fortunate children without being asked. That's who she is: selfless, kind, and full of compassion. She's strong yet gentle, confident yet humble. In my eyes, she was already a winner long before she received the crown because she gives her all in everything she does and excels while staying true to her kind heart. I know she is destined for greatness and will make a real difference in this world. – Shona Sumair (Mother) My precious girl, soar higher than ever before. For the first time in my life, I've felt a pride so deep that words can't fully express it. You've shown that we are more than conquerors through our Lord Jesus Christ. As the Scriptures say in Luke 1:37, 'For with God, nothing shall be impossible.' You've been faithful in the little, and now it's your season to reap. The universe is opening up before you, not because of beauty alone, but because of your unshakeable faith and trust in the Lord. You've made your grandfather's heart full. – Roben Sumair (grandfather) From the time you were just a little girl, you never stopped calling on the name of the Lord, and now, my heart swells with joy seeing how He's honouring that. As the Word says, 'Whatsoever a person sows, so shall they reap.' And oh, my darling, you've sown so much good; now look how His blessings are chasing after you. You've made our suburb, our city, and our country proud. And while the world applauds, I know the ones who stood quietly behind you in support, in sponsorship, and in prayer are smiling too. Keep shining, keep sowing goodness, and know this: your grandmother's heart holds a special kind of pride, the kind only one very special grandchild could ever bring. – Aneela Sumair (grandmother) From the time she was just a little girl, she's always been determined, setting her goals and smashing every single one. Watching her achieve this milestone wasn't just a proud uncle moment… it felt like a father watching his daughter live her dream. We've always been more than just uncle and niece; we're best friends, and seeing her shine like this made my heart burst with pride. The world must be ready… she's only getting started. – Jodash Sumair (uncle). A word from Shiloh: First and foremost, I give all thanks to God for His guidance, strength, and favour throughout my journey. Without Him, none of this would have been possible. To all the incredible sponsors who believed in me and stood by my side, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support truly means the world to me. Sponsors included: Newcastle Skin and Laser Clinic, Cell Fix and Kodak Newcastle, Smile Hub, Jayshnee Rampersadh, Boss Auto, S and M Motors, Inkwelo Resort, Distribution Company, Bonanza, Alignment Masters Newcastle, Stars Break Down, Reshum, Bob's Place, Precision Pressure Power Washing, Kuchla King, Honey's Barber Shop, Dhanie's Designs and Nomsa's Hair and Beauty. 'You are all part of my story, and I'm so grateful to each of you for believing in me.' 'To my amazing family; My mother, Shona Sumair, my greatest pillar of strength, who raised me on her own and moulded me into the woman I am today; thank you for your endless sacrifices and love. 'My uncle, Jodash Sumair, and my wonderful grandparents, Aneela and Roben Sumair; thank you for always encouraging me to be bold, confident, and to shine brightly. 'And to the lovely lady up my street, Aunty Lily, your pride and excitement touched me more than you know. Thank you for cheering me on with so much heart.

Tears as Depressed Dog Finally Reunites With Her Sick Puppy in Hospital
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The incredible moment a dog was reunited with her sick puppy in hospital after four days apart has left internet users fighting back tears. Jenna, the 4-year-old Shiloh shepherd, welcomed a litter of six puppies in late June when they arrived a week early. Sadly, only one pup, named Eros, survived. It was a devastating time for Jenna, for Mojo the dad, and of course for their owner, Heather. The problems continued when Eros was around a week old and Heather noticed that she was aspirating, meaning inhaled material like food, vomit, or regurgitation, was going into her lungs. While Heather breeds the dogs for show and service purposes, she told Newsweek that they "are family" and she would do whatever it took to help Eros. She tried to prevent pneumonia, but the antibiotics weren't successful and Eros had to be hospitalized at barely a few weeks old. Jenna the Shiloh Shepherd seeing Eros in the veterinary hospital and giving her kisses. Jenna the Shiloh Shepherd seeing Eros in the veterinary hospital and giving her kisses. @kittytheshiloh / TikTok "She was in an oxygen tent with IV fluids and tube feeding, as well as powerful antibiotics," Heather said. "Jenna was anxious at first, searching relentlessly day and night, only consoled by her puppy's scent on stuffed animals. As time went on, she began to give up hope and became increasingly depressed." Eros was in hospital for six days, but Jenna was finally allowed to visit after four days. That morning, Heather kept telling Jenna that they were going to "see the baby," and the dog seemed to perk up. Heather firmly believes that Jenna understood what she was telling her. When they finally arrived at the veterinary hospital and Eros was carried into the room, Jenna could hardly believe her eyes. "It took almost a full second before she rushed forward and began covering the puppy in kisses. I bawled. It was a dream come true seeing them together again," Heather said. Heather shared the adorable footage of Jenna reuniting with Eros on her TikTok account (@kittytheshiloh) and it melted hearts. In just a matter of days, the clip has generated over 740,700 views and more than 60,600 likes at the time of writing. Eros had to stay in hospital for a few extra days, and it was only after seeing her try to nurse from Jenna that attention turned towards swallowing disorders. Shortly after, Eros was diagnosed with cricopharyngeal achasia, a condition whereby the cricopharyngeus muscle (which controls food passing from the pharynx to the esophagus) fails to relax when swallowing. It can cause blockages or restrict food when swallowing. Some vets recommended euthanasia because they couldn't help Eros, but a pharyngeal dysphasia specialist at a university hospital "saved the day" and gave them optimism. "Once we knew there was hope, there was no stopping us from saving her," Heather told Newsweek. Once she was strong enough, Eros had an esophageal feeding tube fitted. She is now fed from that four times a day, around the clock. Heather also changes her dressing twice a day, as well as administering antibiotics and pain medication. Eros must be supervised constantly and can't have anything through her mouth, but she is doing great, nonetheless. Since sharing Eros's story online, Heather has been blown away by the overwhelmingly supportive response. So many people are rooting for Eros and following her journey as she shows how much fight she has within her. "Shilohs are a uniquely gentle breed, and famously easy to train, but training her without food will be a struggle," Heather said. "I'm her service human now. She needs someone who will wake up to a change of breathing patterns and watch every bite of food and sip of water she ever takes (once she can have those). "Shilohs are heavily health tested, but this condition cannot be predicted since it isn't genetic. Thankfully, it's exceedingly rare, especially in puppies." Since going viral, the video of Jenna reuniting with her only surviving pup has gained over 800 comments on TikTok so far. Many social media users praised her maternal instincts and hailed the unshakeable bond between them. One comment reads: "Oh please keep them together forever. I love them. Thank you for taking good care!" Another TikTok user wrote: "this made me cry, I hope they have a lifetime together." While another person replied: "I'm so happy she got to see and snuggle her sweet baby." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!
