Twitter is the go-to social network for journalists, but it isn’t the top platform that the public turns to for news, according to recent research from the Pew Research Center.

The report, states Marketing Profs, was based on data from a survey conducted in February and March 2022 among 11,889 US-based journalists, as well as data from two nationally representative surveys of US adults.
