Americans’ news habits have changed dramatically in the 21st century. Today, an overwhelming majority of U.S. adults at least sometimes get news from digital devices.

For this analysis, we surveyed 5,166 U.S. adults from Aug. 24 to 30, 2026. Everyone who took part in these surveys is a member of the Center’s American Trends Panel. The surveys represent the views of the full U.S. adult population.

Here are the questions used for this analysis, the topline and the survey methodology.
