Our work on news and media focuses on Americans\u2019 habits and attitudes \u2013 and how these are changing or not in today\u2019s information environment. For some time, we\u2019ve observed shifts in how young adults consume news and have received many questions about these changes. This report offers a comprehensive look at this topic to help explain what\u2019s happening and why it matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">about Pew Research Center<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/topic\/news-habits-media\/news-media-trends\/state-of-the-news-media-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">research on news habits and media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How we did this<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This analysis brings together data from several research projects we have done in the past few years.

Time and time again, the youngest adults stand out from the crowd in their unique ways of consuming news and their views of the news media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This essay examines how the youngest group of adults \u2013 those ages 18 to 29 \u2013 consume news, interact with it and perceive its role in their daily lives. In doing so, it paints a picture of a generation of Americans that is both shaping and being shaped by the evolving news environment. As we look toward the future, understanding young adults\u2019 news habits may be key to anticipating the coming shifts in the media landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout this essay, we include quotes from young Americans gathered from <a href=\"#methodology\">several past Center studies<\/a> to illustrate their experiences.<a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">This is a Pew Research Center analysis from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/pew-knight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pew-Knight Initiative<\/a>, a research program funded jointly by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John S. and James L.

As one 22-year-old woman shared about a breaking news event, \u201cI first saw on TikTok \u2026 then I saw an article the next day on Fox News and other different news sites.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps one of the clearest differences in online news habits between young adults and their elders is <strong>young adults\u2019 tendency to get news from <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/fact-sheet\/news-influencers-fact-sheet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">news influencers<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 individuals with a large social media following who often post about news, politics or social issues. Among adults under 30, about four-in-ten (38%) say they regularly get news from news influencers. Comparatively, 23% of adults 30 to 49 years old say the same, a share that continues to decrease with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A 21-year-old man explained why he turns to news influencers for news: \u201cIf I agree with that person already, if I already have background with that person, then I\u2019ll probably trust him more than some news site.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Even though many use video-based social media sites, young adults are <em>less<\/em> likely than older Americans to say they <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2025\/11\/20\/more-americans-prefer-to-watch-the-news-than-read-or-listen-to-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">prefer watching the news<\/a>. This may be due in part to older Americans\u2019 preference for getting news on TV. Young adults, by contrast, are more likely than Americans 50 and older to prefer reading or listening to the news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Outside of social media, there is no other digital platform for news consumption where adults under 30 are as consistently different from all older age groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For example, about three-in-ten young adults at least sometimes get news from email newsletters \u2013 similar to other age groups. And while adults under 50 are more likely than those 50 and older to get news from podcasts, there is no difference between people in the 18 to 29 category and those in their 30s and 40s (39% each). Young adults, meanwhile, are <em>less<\/em> inclined than those ages 30 to 64 to get news from news websites or apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">About seven-in-ten adults under 30 (69%) say they at least sometimes get news from Google or other search engines, similar to those ages 30 to 64. The oldest Americans, those 65 and older, are less likely to do this: Only half often or sometimes get news from search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Young adults are slightly more likely than the two oldest age groups to say they get news from AI chatbots (13%), but the share who get news this way is still relatively small compared with other digital platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-b5ef71e6 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<video class=\"has-max-width-constraint\" style=\"--max-width__desktop: 100%; --max-width__tablet: ; --max-width__mobile: ;\" autoplay=\"\" muted=\"\" playsinline=\"\" loop=\"\"><source src=\"https:\/\/videos.files.wordpress.com\/DBng49nW\/pj_2025.12.03-young-adults-news_trust.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\"><\/video>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;trust-in-news-sources&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"trust-in-news-sources\">Trust in news sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Young Americans are also more likely than older ones to trust information from social media. <\/strong>Half of the youngest adults say they have a lot of or some trust in the information that they get from social media sites \u2013 higher than any other age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignright has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><figure class=\"wp-chart-builder\">\t\t<div style=\"max-width:420px\" class=\"wp-chart-builder-wrapper alignnone wp-block-prc-chart-builder-controller\" id=\"562152b4-26be-4692-a3c0-0fd192f1988d\" data-wp-interactive=\"prc-chart-builder\/controller\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;562152b4-26be-4692-a3c0-0fd192f1988d&quot;,&quot;postId&quot;:279522,&quot;postUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/journalism\\\/2025\\\/12\\\/03\\\/young-adults-and-the-future-of-news\\\/&quot;,&quot;chartPostUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/chart\\\/younger-adults-trust-info-from-social-media-sites-as-much-as-that-from-national-news-organizations\\\/&quot;,&quot;postPubDate&quot;:&quot;2025-12-03&quot;,&quot;rootUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org&quot;,&quot;featuredImageId&quot;:297180,&quot;featuredImageUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/alpha.pewresearch.org\\\/pewresearch-org\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/20\\\/2025\\\/11\\\/younger_adults_trust_info_from_social_media_sites_about_as_much_as_from_national_news_organizations-279493-1774980018.png&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Younger adults trust info from social media sites about as much as from national news organizations&quot;,&quot;subtitle&quot;:&quot;% of U.S. adults who say they have\\u00a0&lt;strong&gt;a lot of\\u00a0&lt;\\\/strong&gt;or\\u00a0&lt;strong&gt;some trust\\u00a0&lt;\\\/strong&gt;in the information they get from\\u00a0\\u2026&quot;,&quot;note&quot;:&quot;Note: Data from 2016 based on only internet-using U.S. adults.
