One-in-five U.S. adults say they often get news via social
media, higher than the percent who often do so from print newspapers (16%) for
the first time since Pew Research Center began asking these questions, according to a Pew survey done this year. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/12/10/social-media-outpaces-print-newspapers-in-the-u-s-as-a-news-source/
In 2017,
the percent who got news via social media was about the same as the percent who
got news from print papers, Pew reports.
Television
remains the top platform for news consumption, but its numbers have fallen
since 2016, Pew says. News websites are the next most popular source, then
radio, then social media sites and print papers.
Among the
three different types of TV news asked about, local TV is the most popular type
of TV news, with 37 percent getting news there often, compared with 30 percent
who get cable TV news often and 25 percent who often watch national evening
network news, Pew says.
