The graph above shows that some social media, such as Twitter, are often directly linked with news. In contrast, people mostly visit Facebook for other reasons but often stumble upon news when on the site. A changing media environment has sometimes been associated with the rise of “selective exposure,” where people seek out information that reflects their existing views. However, the rise of widely used social media like Facebook seems to be associated with a resurgence in “incidental exposure,” where people come across news unintentionally.
