FaceBook Making News Sociable
FaceBook Making News Sociable – The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, along with the Project for Excellence in Journalism, conducted a study to see how Americans’ news habits had evolved in recent years. Their findings: Nearly all of us rely on multiple platforms for our daily diet of info, with TV news leading the way and the Internet following close behind. Among cell phone owners, a third of people access mobile news sites or apps while on-the-go.
Sources aside, social engagement is becoming increasingly important: Nearly 40 percent of us love to get involved with the news, Pew reports — blogging, commenting, or sharing on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Not only that, but we rely on those social networks to feed us the info we crave: Three-quarters of people say they regularly receive news stories through Facebook-style sites and e-mail.
Taking things a step further from Pew’s findings, we can actually see what kind of content people are sharing on social networks compared to more traditional news sites. And it turns out there’s a definite difference.
