Ahead of #Halloween, how do Americans feel about their #neighbors? 🎃🏘🍬️ 👋 26% of Americans say they know all or most of their neighbors, while 12% don’t know any. Another 62% know only some of them. 🤝 44% trust all or most of their neighbors. 🌱 Those who trust their neighbors are more likely to help out with things like collecting mail or watering plants. 🗞️ Neighbors, friends and family are still the go-to source for local news over TV or newspapers.

Across the country – and across the political spectrum – Americans see politically motivated violence as on the rise in the United States. But there is much less public consensus about the reasons for politically motivated violence in recent years. We asked them to share – in their own words – the main reasons for politically motivated violence in recent years. The most common answers reference the other political side, but several other explanations are mentioned by people in both parties: - Political polarization - Unwillingness to engage with/understand those with different views - Acceptance of violence - Media – both social media and other forms Full analysis here: https://pewrsr.ch/3L0ypix #USPolitics

#AI has developed rapidly in recent years, with tech companies investing billions of dollars in data centers to help train and run AI models. The expansion of data centers has raised questions on several fronts, including the effect these facilities may have on energy and the environment as the U.S. seeks an edge in the global AI race. This Pew Research Center analysis details where key data center hubs are, how much energy they use, their affect on household utility bills, and more. #energy #datacenters https://lnkd.in/e-uBN_kC

I’m excited to share that I recently transitioned to a new role as a Research Assistant with Pew Research Center’s News and Information Team. In this new position I’ll explore the contemporary media landscape and how people across the world access news related to numerous spheres of public life. This comes as I complete an eight month internship with Pew’s Data Labs Team, where I got to work on projects utilizing cutting edge computational social science methods to analyze media and online behavior. I’m grateful to the numerous people who’ve guided and assisted me along this journey. I’m especially grateful for the guidance of Daina Eglitis, who fostered my interest in social research as my professor and capstone advisor during my time in undergrad with the George Washington University Department of Sociology. I’m also grateful for my family, who have tirelessly supported me along the way. They rock! In all, I’m super excited for what’s to come and look forward to growing in this new role.
