The Pew Research Center published new findings today about the American news landscape. Key findings include:

• Vast majority of Americans (92%) today use multiple platforms to get news on a typical day.
• Only 7% get their news from just one platform.
• While online, most people say they use between two and five online news sources and 65% say they do not have a single favorite website for news. Some 21% say they routinely rely on just one site for their news and information.
• News consumption is become increasingyl portable, personalized, and participartory.
• People use their social networks and social networking technology to filter, assess and react to news
• the ascent of mobile connectivity via smart phones has turned news gathering and news awareness into an anytime, anywhere affair for a segment of avid news watchers.
• The internet has surpassed newspapers and radio in popularity as a news platform on a typical day and now ranks just behind TV.
• Some 28% of internet users have customized their home page to include news from their favorite source or topics and 40% of internet users say an important feature of a news website to them is the ability to customize the news they get from the site.
• When it comes to the quality of coverage itself, respondents give correspondingly mixed signals. Just under two-thirds (63%) agree with the statement that "major news organizations do a good job covering all of the important news stories and subjects that matter to me." Yet 72% also back the idea that "most news sources today are biased in their coverage."
