Title

• Social media and the news

Summary

• "Although they started as a place to socialize online, social media platforms have increasingly become a place where people get their news worldwide. According to a 2022 Pew Research Center study, approximately 70 percent of Americans get at least some news from social media platforms. Concerns have risen as more people turn to social media to get news. While some information on social media platforms comes from trustworthy news outlets, other news sources are unreliable, misleading, and even inaccurate"-- Provided by publisher.
