According to the “360 View: Digital Media & Connected Consumers” study, 29 percent of United States broadband households now get the majority of their news via social media platforms.

“The next generation is embracing online media,” said Glenn Hower, senior analyst at Parks Associates. “Younger consumers, many of whom are passionate about social issues, can find and spread information like wildfire through social media. This is a real problem when inaccurate or unverified reports slip through social media algorithms.”
