一波又一波的数字创新对公众的新闻习惯产生了新的影响。社交媒体、即时通讯应用程序、短信和电子邮件为我们提供了源源不断的消息，无论是来自我们亲近的人还是完全陌生的人。新闻故事现在可以以链接或分享的形式零碎出现，对出版商的重视程度降低了。而且，超水平的即时性和移动性可以创造一种期望，即无论我们是否寻找，新闻都会来到我们身边。这些影响是如何塑造美国人对新闻的胃口和态度的？换句话说，现代新闻消费者的决定性特征是什么？皮尤研究中心（Pew Research Center）在2016年初与约翰S.和詹姆斯L.奈特基金会，揭示了一个谨慎的公众，因为它进入这个更复杂的新闻环境和挑剔的评价可用的新闻来源。诚然，新闻仍然是公众生活的重要组成部分。超过70%的美国成年人关注国家和地方新闻，65%的人以同样的规律关注国际新闻。81%的美国人至少通过网站、应用程序或社交网站获得一些新闻。而且，这种数字新闻摄入量越来越移动的。在那些同时通过台式电脑和移动的设备获取新闻的人中，超过一半的人更喜欢移动的。在这种数字新闻环境中，朋友和家人的作用被放大了，但美国人仍然与新闻机构保持着密切的联系。这些数据还表明，尽管过去十年发生了巨大变化，但数字新闻时代仍处于青春期。这些发现来自一项由两部分组成的研究，该研究向美国成年人询问了有关他们新闻习惯和态度的各种问题，然后在接下来的一周内，以真实的时间询问他们在过去两小时内获得的新闻。第一项调查于2016年1月12日至2月8日进行，对象是皮尤研究中心美国趋势小组的4，654名18岁及以上的美国成年人。第二项调查包括14项简短的在线调查，从2016年2月24日至3月1日每天进行两次。调查邀请在每天的不同时间发出，邀请发出后两小时内接受答复。在网络上完成1月浪潮并报告他们在网上获得新闻的小组成员被要求参与体验研究; 2，078名小组成员参与并完成了14项调查中的至少10项。
Wave after wave of digital innovation has introduced a new set of influences on the public’s news habits. Social media, messaging apps, texts and email provide a constant stream of news from people we’re close to as well as total strangers. News stories can now come piecemeal, as links or shares, putting less emphasis on the publisher. And, hyper levels of immediacy and mobility can create an expectation that the news will come to us whether we look for it or not. How have these influences shaped Americans’ appetite for and attitudes toward the news? What, in other words, are the defining traits of the modern news consumer? A new, two-part survey by Pew Research Center, conducted in early 2016 in association with the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, reveals a public that is cautious as it moves into this more complex news environment and discerning in its evaluation of available news sources. To be sure, news remains an important part of public life. More than seven-in-ten U.S. adults follow national and local news somewhat or very closely – 65% follow international news with the same regularity. Fully 81% of Americans get at least some of this news through websites, apps or social networking sites. And, this digital news intake is increasingly mobile. Among those who get news both on desktop computers and mobile devices, more than half prefer mobile. In this digital news environment, the role of friends and family is amplified, but Americans still reveal strong ties to news organizations. The data also reinforce how, despite the dramatic changes witnessed over the last decade, the digital news era is still very much in its adolescence. These findings come from a two-part study which asked U.S. adults a wide range of questions about their news habits and attitudes, and then over the course of a subsequent week asked them in real time about news they had gotten in the last two hours. The first survey was conducted Jan. 12-Feb. 8, 2016, among 4,654 U.S. adults ages 18 and older who are members of Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel. The second survey consisted of 14 short, online surveys that were administered two per day from Feb. 24-March 1, 2016. Survey invitations were sent at different times each day, and responses were accepted for two hours after the invitations were sent. Panelists who completed the January wave on the web and reported that they get news online were asked to participate in the experiential study; 2,078 panelists participated and completed at least 10 of the 14 surveys.
