Around a fifth of Democrats and Republicans get political
news only from outlets mainly used by people who side with them politically, according to
data from the Pew
Research Center ’s
Election News Pathways project.
People were asked if they got political and
election news in the past week from 30 different sources from a range of news
media on various platforms. Researchers used the info gathered
to determine the political makeup of each source’s audience.
Pew reported that in total, 20% of all
Democrats and independents who lean Democratic get political news only from
outlets with left-leaning audiences. Some 18% of all Republicans and
independents who lean Republican get their political news only from outlets
with right-leaning audiences, according to the survey of 12,043 U.S. adults who
are members of the Center’s American Trends Panel, conducted Oct. 29 to Nov.
11, 2019.
