Approximately what percentage of Americans get news from multiple platforms?

• A. 92 percent
• B. 50 percent
• C. 30 percent
• D. 70 percent

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that people increasingly get their news from more than one source or platform. In today’s media landscape, smartphones, apps, social media, websites, and traditional outlets all contribute to a single person’s news intake, so a large majority end up using multiple platforms to stay informed.

The best answer picks up on that pattern: an overwhelming majority of Americans get news from multiple platforms. This reflects how convenient and habitual it is to consult several sources for different angles, formats, and updates, rather than sticking to a single outlet.

The other figures understate the reach of cross-platform news consumption. They imply only a minority or a moderate portion use more than one platform, which doesn’t align with the widespread behavior seen in recent surveys and studies.
