Black Americans, and to a somewhat lesser extent Hispanic Americans, are more likely than White Americans to say each of these factors is important, but those relating to representation \u2013 both in newsrooms and in coverage \u2013 stand out as especially important or unique priorities for Black people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nearly seven-in-ten Black adults (68%) say that it is at least somewhat important to look for news outlets that cover people like them in stories, 27 percentage points higher than White Americans (41%) and also higher than Hispanic Americans (54%). And both Black (38%) and Hispanic (33%) Americans are much more likely than Whites (13%) to say it is at least somewhat important that the journalists look or sound like them, though this priority does not rise to the top for any of these groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-style-callout has-ui-beige-very-light-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quotes-from-focus-groups\">Quotes from focus groups:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cFor me, for the news stations, we live in America where diversity counts; so, I also look at a station that actually is fully diverse and, of course, have a format that is conducive to the entire population. \u2026 Well, in terms of being fully diverse, in terms of staff, it\u2019s very important to me, I\u2019m able to have my kids see individuals like themselves, too.

While these survey questions were asked before the protests, the divisions speak to how much Black Americans and, to a lesser extent, Hispanic Americans see representation as important in how they stay informed. And according to <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2019\/08\/07\/facts-about-black-americans-and-the-news-media\/\">a recent Pew Research Center analysis<\/a> of U.S. Census data on newsroom employment, Black Americans tend to be underrepresented in U.S. newsrooms overall relative to White Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 data-is-section=\"true\" data-wp-context=\"{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;younger-americans-those-who-rely-on-social-media-for-political-news-largely-feel-disconnected-from-their-news-sources&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"{&quot;namespace&quot;:&quot;prc-block\\\/table-of-contents&quot;}\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"younger-americans-those-who-rely-on-social-media-for-political-news-largely-feel-disconnected-from-their-news-sources\">Younger Americans, those who rely on social media for political news largely feel disconnected from their news sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two other subgroups \u2013 young adults and those who rely on social media for their political news \u2013 distinctly stand out for how they connect with news outlets: Both tend to feel disconnected from their sources of news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Young adults are less likely to feel loyal to or valued by their news sources. About a quarter of Americans ages 18 to 29 (23%) say that they consider themselves to be loyal to the sources they get their news from, compared with about twice that share among those ages 65 and older (49%). And while 29% of adults under 30 say they feel valued by their news sources, this jumps 20 percentage points among the oldest age cohort. On both measures, those ages 30 to 49 and 50 to 64 fall somewhere in between. Younger adults also are somewhat less likely than their elders to feel that news organizations understand them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2020\/08\/31\/black-americans-see-representation-as-key-in-determining-how-they-stay-informed\/pj_2020-08-31_trust-in-news-media_5-02-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f5f4f4\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f5f4f4;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-02.png?resize=480,262 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-02.png?resize=782,427 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-02.png?resize=960,525 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-02.png?resize=1200,656 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-02.png?resize=1288,704 1288w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"350\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-02.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Younger Americans feel much less connected to their news sources\" class=\"wp-image-108615 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, young adults are less likely to say it is important to feel a bond with their news sources. Younger adults, those ages 18 to 29, are less likely to say it is at least somewhat important to feel a connection with their news sources compared with those ages 65 and older (45% vs. 65%, respectively). Again, those 30 to 49 and 50 to 64 years of age fall in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, the nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2020\/07\/30\/americans-who-mainly-get-their-news-on-social-media-are-less-engaged-less-knowledgeable\/\">one-in-five Americans who rely on social media for political news<\/a> are less likely than others to feel connected to their news sources. This group also tends to be young, but the relationship largely persists even when accounting for age differences between those who get most of their news on social media versus those who get news in other ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who rely on social media the most for their political news are less likely to feel loyal to or valued by their sources of news than those who rely on other pathways \u2013 including TV (network, local or cable), print, radio, or news websites or apps. They are less likely to feel loyal to their news sources (21%) or valued by them (25%), and they also fall near the bottom in the share who feel that news organizations understand people like them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/journalism\/2020\/08\/31\/black-americans-see-representation-as-key-in-determining-how-they-stay-informed\/pj_2020-08-31_trust-in-news-media_5-03-png\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"e8dee0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #e8dee0;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-03.png?resize=480,296 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-03.png?resize=782,482 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-03.png?resize=960,592 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-03.png?resize=1200,740 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-03.png?resize=1274,786 1274w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"395\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2020\/08\/PJ_2020.08.31_trust-in-news-media_5-03.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Those who rely on social media the most for political news feel less loyal to or valued by their news sources\" class=\"wp-image-108622 not-transparent\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People in different subgroups within the U.S. population often have different views of, relationships with and priorities for the news media.
