Digital Smarts - And They Get Their News From Facebook

A recent report by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism reveals that social media is more popular than television with people ages 18 to 24. Social media is also the leading source of news for this age group, with more than half of online users getting news from sites such as Facebook. It is interesting to note however, that although this group prefers getting their news online, they are still highly distrustful of the accuracy of information found through social media.
