Pew Research Survey – What Americans Know: 1989-2007

by on

Public Knowledge of Current Affairs Little Changed by News and Information Revolutions – What Americans Know: 1989-2007. Released April 15, 2007.

  • “Since the late 1980s, the emergence of 24-hour cable news as a dominant news source and the explosive growth of the internet have led to major changes in the American public’s news habits. But a new nationwide survey finds that the coaxial and digital revolutions and attendant changes in news audience behaviors have had little impact on how much Americans know about national and international affairs.
    On average, today’s citizens are about as able to name their leaders, and are about as aware of major news events, as was the public nearly 20 years ago.”
