Once upon a time, people used to get their news from the paper and TV news — and while those sources may have had different standards and biases, there was some sense of a shared truth. The internet changed all of that. Now, Pew Research Center is examining a new phenomenon: the news influencer. Their researchers defined this as individuals who regularly post on social platforms about current events and civic issues, and have at least 100,000 followers on any of Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X or YouTube (so based on the recent Xodus, their findings might already be outdated). Here’s the full study, which examines the gender breakdown, ideology and content of these influencers. We want to know: Where do you get your news these days (choose as many answers as you like)? Tell us in the comments if there’s a news influencer you trust, and tag them if you can.

I used to get The Guardian/Flipboard here on mastodon.
Now it has disappeared for some strange reason.
I read The Guardian.
@[email protected] HI Lorrie, unfortunately The Guardian has stopped updating its account on Flipboard and therefore we are not able to distribute its content. Previously, the account @[email protected] was operated by press.coop and fed by an RSS feed. All people who were previously following the press.coop account have now been migrated to the new flipboard.social account, however it will not be updated unless The Guardian decides to create its own account here, at which point we will move all followers over to that account.

Thank you kindly for explaining. It makes sense to me now.
I will just go to their site.
Many thanks 😊
@[email protected] You can also follow their RSS feed using an RSS reader — here’s what they say: https://manage.theguardian.com/help-centre/article/how-to-use-theguardians-rss
