"Navigating Social Media's Political Minefield: A Fact Sheet for Users"

A Pew Research Center fact sheet reveals that half of U.S. adults get news from social media, with Facebook being the most popular platform for news consumption, followed by YouTube. Demographic and partisan differences exist in regular news consumers on various social media sites, with women making up a greater portion of regular news consumers on platforms like Nextdoor and Instagram, and Democrats or lean Democrats being the majority of regular news consumers on many sites. The fact sheet provides insights into the state of news, information, and journalism in the digital age, funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation.
