Methodology
PR-relevant figure on journalists' use of social media (Twitter cited as most-used); the article does not date this statistic — collection year (2026) used as vintage per instructions, though surrounding article context suggests ~2021-2022 data. Likely originally from a Cision/Muck Rack-style media survey, not named.
