Approximately what percentage of Americans get news from 4 to 6 platforms per day?

• A. 46 percent
• B. 10 percent
• C. 60 percent
• D. 25 percent

Answer: (A)

This question is about how many different platforms people use to get news each day. The best answer reflects the common pattern that a large portion of Americans rely on several sources rather than a single one. Approximately 46 percent of Americans report getting news from four to six platforms per day. This figure captures the trend of a diversified news diet, with people turning to TV, online sites, social media, radio, apps, and print, often across multiple outlets.

The other percentage options don’t fit typical survey data. A much smaller share (like 10 percent) would understate how widespread multi-platform consumption has become, while 25 percent and 60 percent don’t align as closely with observed distributions of daily news sourcing across the population.
