Survey says Twitter is the best breaking news source
Twitter is the most popular source of news amongst all social networking
sites, according to a survey. Almost 5,000 social media users in the
U.S. participated in the survey, and 86% (nearly 9 out of 10) said that
they used Twitter for news. Out of these, 74% said that they did so
daily. The survey was carried out by the American Press Institute and
Twitter, in collaboration with research firm DB5.
The survey also found that Twitter users also tend to be heavier news
consumers as compared to users of other social networks, even across
daily life. They predominantly follow news on Twitter and most of the
time, they do so in order to pass the time. When there is a breaking
news story, they generally participate in it by commenting, posting, and
sharing the news. The survey included 3,713 Twitter users as well as a
separate sample of 1,000 other social media users in the U.S. Out of the
1,000, 469 were not on Twitter.
Three quarters of those surveyed followed individual journalists.
