Based on a recent study from the Pew
Research Journalism Project, approximately 8 percent of all adults in the
United States get their news through Twitter. It's an interesting finding
amidst many in this report sponsored via a collaboration with the John S. and James
L. Knight Foundation. The report looks at a wide range of topics, including
analysis of conversations on Twitter around major news events, exploring how
people discuss major issues via this particular form of social media.
Interestingly enough, the report notes that the majority of those polled (85
percent) get news at least sometimes on mobile devices and that Twitter news
consumers are younger and more educated that both the overall population and
Facebook news consumers. Visitors can read the complete report here and also
peruse additional reports such as "News Coverage Conveys Strong Momentum
for Same-Sex Marriage" and "Twitter and the Campaign." [KMG]
