Although Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other sites weren't designed as places to get news, that's what they've become. Today, 67 percent of Americans report that they get at least some of their news on social media. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center's latest data, the share of Americans who get at least some of their news online is fast approaching the share who rely on television, which has long been the main source for many Americans. In this episode, host Dan LeDuc talks with Amy Mitchell, who directs journalism research at the center, about this trend and what it means for the way news and information are shared.
