As Politico moves into Australia, our @pewresearch.org survey data show that about half of adults have heard of Politico and 8% say they regularly get news there â with differences by party.

This year weâll be digging into:
đ° The New News Reality â Wed 11:10am (Main Stage)
đ Todayâs News Consumers â Wed 1:15pm (Chopin)
đ SpanishâLanguage News Ecosystem â Thu 12pm (Chopin)
One thing I keep noticing:
âDo your own researchâ has become a nearâuniversal norm about the news.
But people mean very different things by it â and that difference matters.

We talk a lot about âmedia literacyâ â but do people actually experience checking the news as a skill theyâve mastered?
What people describe instead often sounds like a stream of everyday judgments, made under uncertainty.
That gap feels worth paying attention to.
If youâre at KMF, come say hi â and if youâre following from afar, I'll share takeaways soon.
Heading to Miami for #KMF26 â always a highlight for anyone thinking about the future of news and civic info. Excited to share new @pewresearch.org insights across three sessions this year. â¨

One data point that adds context: most Americans say they feel confident theyâd know steps to take to check a news story â but far fewer say the same about other people.
The confidence is there, but itâs uneven.
