What does the future of news look like?
Our new @pewresearch.org study shows young adults stand out:
• Follow news less closely
• Get news incidentally—esp. via social media
• Trust social media as much as national news orgs
• Have a broader definition of “journalist”

Young Adults and the Future of News
U.S. adults under 30 follow news less closely than any other age group. And they’re more likely to get (and trust) news from social media.

Donald Trump wants to be recognized as a peacemaker.

His deputies obliged today by putting his name on the headquarters of the U.S. Institute of Peace, an agency that DOGE tried to kill.

The new name — the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace — "adds insult to injury," said a lawyer for USIP staff.

The change comes as Trump’s administration has touted his peace deals and ahead of a signing of a deal between the leaders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo this week.

Donald Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake for the second time in a month on Tuesday.
