These data come from a much more detailed and fascinating report published earlier this year led by my fantastic colleague @kirstenaeddy.bsky.social. Check that out here: www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2...

Most say being informed is essential for voting. Yet views differ on the importance of following news – and many say they're worn out by it.

New research from Pew shows that kindness is ranked pretty highly among qualities Americans value in the people they get their news from. Thanks to @kirstenaeddy.bsky.social for this fascinating slide.

New paper with @kirstenaeddy.bsky.social in Journalism on whether people across 45 countries think news coverage of people their age, their gender, and with their political views is fair or unfair. We outline some interesting demographic differences (more details in 🧵)... doi.org/10.1177/1464...

And just like that, over a year of work from our team is out in the world! Our latest @pewresearch.org data essay, part of the Pew-Knight Initiative, explores how Americans decide what "news" means to them – and how it fits into their lives in the digital era. www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2...

A very belated first post here! We recently released 8 key facts about Americans and TikTok, drawn from great work by several @pewresearch.org teams -- from who's on the platform and how (+ from whom) they get news there to how people feel about a TikTok ban. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
