Understanding an audience's media consumption patterns also indirectly provides input on the use of the types of mass media that are most trusted and considered credible by the audience. Results of hypothesis testing of social media content on news consumption patterns. From the results of the t test, it can be seen that tcount is 3.441 with a significance level (?) = 0.05, namely 1.701 because tcount is 3.441 ttable 1.701, meaning that social media content has a positive influence on news consumption patterns. Based on the calculation results, it explains the magnitude of the coefficient of determination or R Square of 0.297 (0.297 × 100%), this shows that the percentage contribution of the influence of the independent variable social media content on the dependent variable news consumption patterns is 29.7% or the independent variable used in the model is able to explain the variance the news consumption pattern variable was 29.7%, while the remaining 70.3% (100%-29.7%) was influenced by other variables not included in the research model]]>
