Report: Young Adults’ News Behaviors and Beliefs
Posted by John S. and James L. Knight Foundation on July 23, 2019
A new report released by Knight Foundation shows that young adults are concerned about the impact of news on democracy and unity in the country, expressing that news sources divide and polarize citizens.
Conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago, the report analyzes the findings of a survey of 1,660 adults between the ages of 18 and 34. It includes large samples of African American and Hispanic participants in order to explore beliefs and behaviors across races and ethnicities.
The report found that young adults interact with the news frequently with 88 percent accessing news at least weekly, including 53 percent who do so every day. As such, it holds important findings for news organizations and journalists as they try to build their influence and reach among the next generation.
