adults said they feel “very confident” they can differentiate between organizations that do original news reporting and those that do not. Before asking about the six news sources, the survey asked respondents how confident they are in their ability to identify original reporting. The remaining 47% correctly identified three or more sources, though just 7% correctly identified all six.Īmericans seem to be at least somewhat aware of this uncertainty. About a third or more of respondents were not sure whether each of the sources conducts its own news reporting, with Apple News at the high end (66% not sure) and ABC News at the low end (34% not sure).Īll in all, nearly a quarter of Americans (23%) could not correctly identify whether any of the six sources do original reporting, and an additional three-in-ten got only one (15%) or two (15%) questions right.
Uncertainty was common, even for the sources that Americans found easier to classify. This analysis was made possible by The Pew Charitable Trusts, which received support from the John S.
Here are the questions used for this analysis, along with responses, and its methodology. Results here are reported based on this general population sample of 2,021 respondents. Of these, the 2,021 respondents constituted a general population sample and were weighted to be representative of the U.S. The survey was carried out from June 2 to June 11, 2020, in both English and Spanish among a sample of 3,715 noninstitutionalized U.S. Ipsos’ KP is a probability-based web panel designed to be representative of adults in the U.S. To examine Americans’ news consumption habits in an era of rapidly evolving media technology, we surveyed 2,021 U.S.
