# The new news audience

Lee Rainie joins his colleague, Tom Rosenstiel, from the [Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism](https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/), in describing how people get news and information in an environment where their options for getting news have multiplied and the mix of news sources has radically changed. Their appearance is part of a conference on ["Journalism and the new media ecology: Who will pay the messengers?" ](http://www.law.yale.edu/intellectuallife/10132.htm)at Yale Law School.
