Notable new Pew Research Center report on “Americans’ Experiences With Local Crime News”

The Pew Research Center released today this big new survey/report intended to enable us “to better understand how U.S. adults get local crime news and information” and based on a “survey of 5,146 U.S. adults [that] was conducted from January 22 to 28, 2024.”   The report is so extensive and intricate, I find it hard to take in or assess all the findings.  Helpfully, via multiple webpages, the Pew folks break down many of the details in this lengthy postings:
