1. The American public shows mixed familiarity with new and evolving forms of news
Americans are broadly aware of newer digital platforms
Demographic profiles of Americans’ knowledge of new digital platforms
Few newer forms of digital media are widely used for news
Americans do not widely use four news aggregators
Americans often uncertain about who does original news reporting
About a quarter of Americans could not correctly identify any original reporting sources
Most Americans say they have not paid for news in past year… but when asked more specifically, some who initially said no indicate their household had subscribed or donated
Who says ‘no’ to initial question about paying for news but ‘yes’ to a more detailed follow-up
Less sharp divisions on indirect support for news
Asking about streaming video adds little to overall picture of news habits
Use of streaming video for news overlaps strongly with both TV and digital news use …but use of podcasts for news overlaps more strongly with digital devices than radio
