Young Adults Trust Social Media for News, Regrets Pending
When young adults use social media to 'keep up with current events,' they're basically attending a party where half the guests unsurely brag about fake celebrity sightings and conspiracy theories.

Following news on social media for young adults is like choosing your horoscope as your career advisor—mistakes will be made, but hey, it’s entertaining!
