Lots to dig into in Pew Research Center’s State of the News Media 2015.
(Source: journalism.org)
92% of teens report going online daily — including 24% who say they go online “almost constantly,”
At Pew Research Center, we’ve been specifically interested in experimenting with Twitter’s role in the news since 2008. So when we launched a yearlong project examining local news in three cities last year, we tested several approaches using Twitter data to understand how it serves as a source of news and enables local residents to become participants in it. Our verdict? While Twitter analysis is still at an experimental stage and Twitter data has limitations, it can be a valuable new tool to understand the media environment. More specifically, we found it valuable to understand how news organizations use Twitter. However, local news is just one small topic of many discussed on the platform. What we found lacking was trying to glean any data about Twitter users by location.
Some notable data points to consider in Pew Research Center’s 10 facts about technology use in the emerging world.
18% of online adults have had important personal information stolen such as their Social Security Number, credit card, or bank account information. That’s an increase from the 11% who reported personal information theft in July 2013.
21% of online adults said they had an email or social networking account compromised or taken over without their permission.The same number reported this experience in a July 2013 survey.
NEW REPORT: Some 73% of online adults now use a social networking site of some kind. 42% of online adults now use MULTIPLE social networking sites; which do you think is the platform of choice? http://pewrsr.ch/1dP98fS
