The percentage of U.S. adults who get news from multiple social media sites continued to increase, according to a new report from Pew Research Center.

Pew found that 26 percent of U.S. adults get news from two or more social media sites, up from 18 percent in 2016 and 15 percent in 2013.

Looking at the largest social network, Facebook, Pew found that 45 percent of U.S. adults turn to it for news, and of that group, one-half exclusively gets news from Facebook and no other social networks.
