Leading online news brands in the U.S. 2024

The most popular online news brands in the United States as of February 2024 were Fox News online and CNN.com. A study found that 18 percent and 17 percent of respondents to a survey had visited those sites respectively for news in the last week. Also high in the ranking were Yahoo! News and The New York Times online. Support for and trust in both sources varies significantly according to the political affiliation of audiences, particularly among Democrats and Republicans. News and politicsA survey revealed that more than 40 percent of Republicans reported not trusting The New York Times, whereas The NYT is one of the most trusted news sources among Democrats. The same study found that over 60 percent of Democrats did not trust Fox News**. The perceived credibility of major news sources in the United States changes annually and is often influenced by election campaigns and the voting persuasions of the American public. However, whilst most Democrats believe the mass media to be objective in its reporting, very few Republicans feel the same. In 2020, just 10 percent of Republicans trusted news organizations to report fully, accurately, and fairly. Trust in newsThe most trusted news sources in the United States are radio, network news, and newspapers, despite online outlets being used more frequently by younger audiences. Social media and podcasts are considered the least trustworthy news platforms by all American voters, though again, the survey indicated that Republicans are generally more distrusting of mass media news than voters of other political parties.

截至2024年2月，美国最受欢迎的在线新闻品牌为福克斯新闻在线和CNN.com。一项研究表明，在最近一周内，分别有18%和17%的受访者访问了这些网站以获取新闻。雅虎新闻和《纽约时报》在线版也位列榜单前列。受众的政治倾向对这些来源的支持与信任度存在显著差异，尤其在民主党人和共和党人之间。一项调查揭示了超过40%的共和党人表示不信任《纽约时报》，而《纽约时报》却是民主党人中最受信任的新闻来源之一。同样的研究还发现，超过60%的民主党人并不信任福克斯新闻。美国主要新闻来源的可信度每年都会发生变化，并常受选举活动和美国公众的投票倾向所影响。然而，尽管大多数民主党人认为大众媒体在报道上持客观态度，但共和党人中认为如此的人数寥寥无几。在2020年，仅有10%的共和党人信任新闻机构能够全面、准确、公正地报道新闻。就新闻信任度而言，美国最可信的新闻来源为广播、电视新闻和网络报纸，尽管年轻受众更频繁地使用在线新闻渠道。社交媒体和播客被所有美国选民视为最不可信的新闻平台，尽管调查又指出，共和党人对大众媒体新闻的信任度普遍低于其他政党的选民。
