Two-thirds (67%) of U.S. adults get news from social media sites, up from last year’s figure of 62%, according to a Pew Research Center study out today. But not all platforms are equal in delivering news to users:

• Facebook still beats out every other social media site as the top news bearer among social media sites, with 45% of Americans reporting getting news from Facebook. That’s indicative of the fact that a larger percentage of Americans (66%) use Facebook than the other social media sites in the survey.

• For Twitter, 74% of its users get news there (up 15 percentage points from last year). 29% of Snapchat users get news on the platform (up 12 percentage points from last year).

• For YouTube, 32% of its users get news there (up 21 percentage points from last year).
