2016年总统大选后，社交媒体上假新闻的传播成为美国公众的担忧。我们调查了注册选民在Twitter上接触和分享假新闻的情况，发现与假新闻来源的接触非常集中。只有1%的个人占了80%的假新闻来源曝光，0.1%的个人占到了近80%的假新闻来源分享。最有可能接触假新闻来源的人是倾向于保守的、年龄较大、高度参与政治新闻的人。一群假新闻来源与极右翼的受众重叠，但对于不同政治派别的人来说，大多数政治新闻的曝光仍然来自主流媒体。
The spread of fake news on social media became a public concern in the United States after the 2016 presidential election. We examined exposure to and sharing of fake news by registered voters on Twitter and found that engagement with fake news sources was extremely concentrated. Only 1% of individuals accounted for 80% of fake news source exposures, and 0.1% accounted for nearly 80% of fake news sources shared. Individuals most likely to engage with fake news sources were conservative leaning, older, and highly engaged with political news. A cluster of fake news sources shared overlapping audiences on the extreme right, but for people across the political spectrum, most political news exposure still came from mainstream media outlets.
