​​📰Social Media & News After a few years of relentless growth in the use of #SocialMedia for news, now, in many countries, growth has stopped or gone into reverse. Taking the 🇺🇸 as an example, weekly social media use for news grew steadily from 27% in 2013 to a peak of 51% before falling back significantly this year to 45% (-6). To some extent this represents a readjustment after the social media frenzy around the Trump inauguration last year – but these patterns also exist elsewhere. In the 🇬🇧 usage grew from 20% in 2013 to 41% in 2017 before falling back. The decline in 🇧🇷 appears to have started in 2016. Also, average news usage for #Facebook has fallen from 42% in 2016 to 36% today while other networks are stable or have been growing rapidly. 🚀@PerspectiveIX ☕️prs.pctvix.co/2M8AAOb
