2020-07-30 | Study: US adults who mostly rely on social media for news are less informed, exposed to more conspiracies – TechCrunch

'The firm’s research also found that social media news consumers skewed young — 48% of those who mostly used social media for news were between 18 and 29, for example. '

'The social media group, on this topic, was closer to the local TV group (11%). '

'Pew’s conclusion from its research is that social media users are less informed, which seems fairly accurate on these specific topics. '

'And yet, the same social media group reported they’re less concerned about the impact of made-up news. '

'Among those social media news consumers aware of the COVID-19 conspiracy, 44% who used social media to often get COVID-19 news said the theory was at least “probably true.” Only 33% of those who relied less on social media for COVID-19 news said the same. '
