True crime stands out as the most common topic of top-ranked podcasts in the United States.
A new Pew Research Center survey reveals that podcast listening is highly fragmented, and no one podcast dominates.
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.
We asked researchers how they used the newest generation of large language models to analyze roughly 24,000 podcast episodes.
The Pew-Knight Initiative will deliver a comprehensive, real-time look at the information landscape from the standpoints of both consumers and producers of news.
The share of Americans who say they often get news from a podcast is quite small, at just 7%; 16% of adults say they sometimes do.
57% of U.S. journalists surveyed say they are extremely or very concerned about potential restrictions on press freedoms in the country.
More than eight-in-ten U.S. adults say they get news from a smartphone, computer or tablet “often” or “sometimes.”
Audiences for nearly every major sector of the U.S. news media fell in 2017 except for radio. Cable news revenue continued to rise, as did digital ad revenue.
