About four-in-ten Americans now often get news online.
Mobile is becoming a preferred device for digital news
Long-form journalism has a place in today’s mobile-centric society.
More than half (55%) of U.S. smartphone users get news alerts, but few get them frequently.
Social media, particularly Facebook, is now a common news source.
- Overall, 62% of U.S. adults get news on social media, and
- 18% do so often
- However, news plays a varying role across the social networking sites studied.
- Two-thirds of Facebook users (66%) get news on the site, which amounts to
- 44% of the general population.
- Nearly as many Twitter users say they get news on Twitter (59%), but
- due to Twitter’s smaller user base this translates to just 9% of the general population.
