"I primarily see updates on Instagram. That's what I'm checking most often. I had mostly signed off of social media because it was too distracting. But because there was such a flood of information and things were changing so rapidly, I wanted to stay on top of what was happening."
"Only 16% of Americans pay for news. Most news organizations are trying to reach people who are not news junkies, highlighting a significant gap in news engagement."
Nieman Lab recognizes that most Americans do not engage with news as avidly as its staff. Only 16% of Americans pay for news, and many receive no push notifications. The 'News Diaries' series aims to explore the news consumption habits of non-journalists. The first entry features a conversation with Sophie, a minister and mother, who primarily uses Instagram for local news updates, having returned to social media to stay informed amid rapidly changing events in her community.
