Most Americans say they are finding it increasingly difficult to tell whether the news they consume is accurate, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.
The study found 42% of U.S. adults say they often encounter news they believe is inaccurate, and 48% say it happens sometimes. Only 10% say they rarely come across information they think is incorrect.
Concerns about misinformation are highest among people who primarily get their news online. Pew found 46% of digital news consumers feel they regularly encounter inaccurate information, compared with 26% among those who rely on traditional, non-digital news sources.
Many Americans say the growing use of artificial intelligence in media has made them more uncertain about the reliability of the information they see.
