Americans face a variety of challenges as they try to stay informed on news, including concerns about inaccurate news, stark political divides in news sources and the rise of artificial intelligence.
Against this backdrop, we asked Americans to describe in their own words what they think it means to be a “good news consumer.” The wide range of answers we received shows that Americans have many different ways of navigating the modern information landscape.
These findings, which are part of a Pew Research Center survey from the Pew-Knight Initiative, also reflect the increased power and responsibility individuals have to decide what news to consume and trust.
