Social media now main source of news in US, research suggests
A report also finds right-leaning audiences on X have almost doubled in the UK since Elon Musk's takeover.www.bbc.com
Explains a lot...
*More than half (54%) of people get news from networks like Facebook, X and YouTube
*Despite their popularity, online influencers and personalities were named as a major source of false or misleading information by almost half of people worldwide (47%)
*The report also stated that usage of X for news is "stable or increasing across many markets", with the biggest uplift in the US.
It added that since Elon Musk took over the network in 2022, "many more right-leaning people, notably young men, have flocked to the network, while some progressive audiences have left or are using it less frequently".
In the US, the proportion that self-identified as being on the right tripled after Musk's takeover.
In the UK, right-wing X audiences have almost doubled.
Rival networks like Threads, Bluesky and Mastodon are "making little impact globally, with reach of 2% or less for news", it stated.
