Numbers, Facts and Trends Shaping Your World
A new Pew Research Center survey reveals that podcast listening is highly fragmented, and no one podcast dominates.
Most Americans say the U.S. government and technology companies should each take steps to restrict false information and extremely violent content online.
The transition of the news industry away from print, television and radio into digital spaces has caused huge disruptions in the traditional news industry, especially the print news industry. Today, an overwhelming majority of Americans get news at least sometimes from digital devices.
Roughly half of U.S. adults say they have listened to a podcast in the past year, including one-in-five who report listening at least a few times a week. Most podcast listeners say this experience includes hearing news, which they largely expect to be mostly accurate. Large shares of listeners say they turn to podcasts for entertainment, learning or having something to listen to while doing something else.
While 27% of U.S. adults say they have heard of Telegram, only 2% use the alternative social media app for news.
Roughly half of Americans say that they have been getting some (30%) or a lot (18%) of news and info about COVID-19 vaccines on social media.
