An interesting report from the Pew Research Center - Where do Americans turn first for information about breaking news? - one striking think (highlighted in the report) is the difference between age groups e.g. 31% of 18-29 year olds going first to social media for breaking news vs. 6% of those aged 65+.
I've linked below to the summary story, and there are links (at the bottom of the article) to the methodology, to the questions and to the descriptive results.
The latter includes further interesting questions e.g.
67% had at some point stopped getting news from a specific source and 60% had reduced the amount of news they got overall. There is also a question about "do you consider this research" with options such as comparing sources, Googling, discussing with friends.
