Want to know
…social media trends in 2018?

…how the U.S. views Pope Francis?
…marital status, broken down by religion, of the U.S. population?
…recent trends in motherhood and family size?

These and many, many more reports can be found in the Pew Research Center. The site is current and credible. All the sources of information are well documented and objective.

If you are writing a paper or making a presentation on a current events issue, from politics to religion to social media, I highly recommend that you check out this website. It has interesting, timely reports which are easy to read and usually have excellent infographics that will grab your attention and convey a point.

From their own words: "Pew Research Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world. We conduct public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other data-driven social science research. We do not take policy positions.”

So, whether for academic purposes or just to be an informed member of society, head on to the Pew Research Center. Lots of valuable information is waiting for you.
