The Pew Research Center has been doing studies to figure out
whether adults are turning to social sites like Facebook and Twitter to get
news. They found that 8% of US adults
use Twitter to get their news while 30% use Facebook. Several interesting conclusions were made
from the study including, “Twitter news consumers stand out for being younger
and more educated than both the population overall and Facebook news consumers.”
If you are looking for a place to get started with reading news on Twitter, check out The Blimp's news list, featuring Twitter feeds of top news sources.
One thing missing from these two studies is information on where kids under eighteen get their news. So whether your demographic is included or not, tell us in the comments where you get your news!
