What consequences should news organizations face if they publish false information?

A large majority of Americans (81%) say the news organization should publish a correction in all or most cases. Far fewer (30%) say the news organization should usually fire the journalist who reported the story.

Republicans are more likely than Democrats to support government intervention if news organizations publish false information.

Latter-day Saints (widely known as Mormons) are, on average, among the most religious Americans. For example, roughly seven-in-ten Latter-day Saints say that:

🔹Religion is very important in their lives

🔹They pray daily

🔹They attend religious services in person at least weekly

Their rates of religious engagement are often on par with evangelical Protestants and members of historically Black Protestant churches, and they far exceed those of many other religious groups.

Americans value press freedom, but many also support limits on it.

Half or more U.S. adults say the government should be able to restrict news reporting in certain cases, particularly when it endangers national security or contains inaccurate information.

Republicans and Democrats largely agree that the government should not restrict news if it’s critical of the government or favors one political side.

Whether reading X-rays or taking notes on patient-doctor conversations, is reshaping healthcare. 🩻 🤖
Our new survey asked Americans about their views on AI at the doctor’s office.

A common thread in their responses is that they’re uncertain about whether it’s used in their healthcare, and they want to be informed if it is.

How do you feel about AI in your healthcare? ⬇️

72% of U.S. adults say it’s extremely or very important that their healthcare provider tells them if they’re using AI in their healthcare. 🩺

Majorities across age, gender, education, and racial and ethnic groups hold this view.

Around eight-in-ten want their office to tell them if AI is used for things that can directly affect care or medical decisions, like analyzing medical scans, diagnosing conditions and explaining lab results.

Americans feel like they don’t have a lot of control over AI use in their healthcare.

53% say they have not too much or no say about whether a provider uses AI in their care. 📣

63% say they want more input on whether AI is used in their healthcare. 🗣️
