Most of our research on the U.S. news environment has been from the viewpoint of the public, but this time we surveyed journalists themselves.

The declining public trust in the news media and polarization of news audiences have profound effects on civic life.
U.S. adults’ views of what makes a news story trustworthy vary by party affiliation, demographic characteristics and news consumption habits.
Here’s a look back at the past year and some of its biggest news events through 15 of our most striking research findings.
As news outlets morph and multiply, both surveys and passive data collection tools face challenges.
More than eight-in-ten U.S. adults say they get news from a smartphone, computer or tablet “often” or “sometimes.”
At least half of Black podcast listeners regularly listen to podcasts about entertainment and pop culture; self-help and relationships; comedy; and money and finance.
Those ages 18 to 29 differ from older Americans in their news consumption habits and in their responses to major news events and coverage.
About half of U.S. adults say they get news from social media “often” or “sometimes,” and this use is spread out across a number of different sites. Facebook stands out as a regular source of news for about a third of Americans.
Only about a third of the world’s countries practice daylight saving time, and the vast majority of them are in Europe.
