An AP/NORC poll finds 53% of Americans pay for news, including subscribing to newspapers or magazines, paying for news apps, or donating to public media.
“While there are a host of reasons people subscribe, the No. 1 cited (by more than 4 in 10 subscribers) was that the publication they pay for excels at covering certain topics about which they particularly care. More than 4 in 10 also cite the fact that friends and family subscribe to the same product.”
