Key findings from Pew Research Center on "news influencers" A new study by the Pew Research Center provides actionable insights into the emerging ecosystem of social media news influencers. This unique Pew study offers a deeper understanding of the makeup and audience of the news influencer universe. The research reveals transformative shifts in news consumption patterns based on an analysis of 500 influencers (selected from 28,000 accounts) and a nationally representative survey. The Pew study found significant power in news influencers, with 21% of Americans—notably 37% of those under 30—regularly consuming news through these channels. The research exposes a stark demographic skew, with men comprising nearly two-thirds of news influencers. Most significantly, 75% of these influencers operate independently of traditional media organizations, indicating a fundamental restructuring of news creation and distribution channels. For this study, Pew defined a news influencer as individuals who regularly post about current events and civic issues on social media and have at least 100,000 followers on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), or YouTube. The Pew Research Center's reputation for methodological rigor and nonpartisan analysis lends particular weight to these findings. As a subsidiary of The Pew Charitable Trusts, the Research Center maintains strict independence and abstains from policy advocacy, ensuring unbiased insights. Their computational social science approach, combining large-scale account analysis with demographic research, provides executives with actionable intelligence on this emerging media and news dissemination phenomenon. This new study deserves close attention from business leaders as it illuminates profound shifts in information dissemination channels that will impact corporate communications, marketing strategies, and public opinion formation in the years ahead. Pew's research and analysis are peerless. They cover numerous topics important to the C-suite and are always must-reads. You can access the complete study here: https://lnkd.in/eE4S8R-d

Geopolitics @ Dawn by Caracal | November 13 Today in geopolitical news and how comms pros should think and talk about it.... The global business environment is experiencing significant volatility driven by major geopolitical shifts and policy uncertainties. Donald Trump's presidential election victory catalyzes immediate international responses, particularly in trade and diplomatic relations. Trump's election, evolving energy politics, and technological advancements reshape the global business landscape. European allies urgently recalibrate their strategic positions, particularly regarding Ukraine support, while Asian nations are proactively adapting their diplomatic approaches- soft power on the golf course or hard power lobbying. The WaPo reports that South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol is preparing for the return of golf diplomacy under President-elect Donald Trump, and Trump's return heralds a lobbying push by Japanese automakers as Nikkei reports that Toyota, Honda, and Nissan raised total spending by 25% in his first term amid protectionist tilt. In parallel, significant movements in energy markets, climate policy, and digital transformation create challenges and opportunities for multinational corporations. At the COP29 summit in Baku, the WSJ reports that Exxon Mobil CEO Darren Woods says the president-elect's plan to pull the US out of the agreement is bad, and China urges 'constructive dialogue' on climate change under Donald Trump.?China accounts for almost 40% of global investment in clean energy. These developments suggest an increasingly complex operating environment for multinational corporations, requiring adaptive strategies in supply chain management, regulatory compliance, and international market positioning. Companies should prepare contingency plans for various scenarios, particularly regarding trade policies and geopolitical shifts that could affect their global operations. Pro-tip: Make sure you have a professional with expertise in geopolitical communications on your team. Such a pro will help you navigate the challenges of geopolitics on your business objectives and help you confidently speak about this environment. Caracal is here to help.

Marc A. Ross,?Caracal?founder and chief communications strategist, in POLITICO on the LinkedIn post soliciting staffers from the now-governing UK Labour Party to campaign for Kamala Harris for POTUS, which blew up into a surprise diplomatic storm on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. + Marc Ross, a D.C. comms executive and Republican who has campaigned for the Conservatives in the U.K. in the past, said the LinkedIn post gave the Trump campaign “a ‘what about it’ cover on foreign interference in the 2024 election.” Indeed, Ross is a testament to the fact that both the left and right across the Atlantic conduct campaign exchanges during elections, using their own time and cash. He has helped British Conservatives link up with Republicans to help with U.S. campaigns, too. “People who love politics and love campaigns tend to volunteer and work on campaigns all over the globe,” he said.
