More adults than ever under 30 in the U.S. expressed trust in news they see on social media platforms, while fewer that ever said the same about national news, according to a new analysis from Pew Research Center.

The think tank surveyed 12,147 U.S. adults between July 18 and Aug. 21, and it found that 50% of adults under 30 expressed a lot or some trust in news via social media, while just 56% of that age group said the same about national news.
