Okay but like, if I browse Lemmy every morning and regularly read linked articles, am I getting my news from social media or digital news sites? Same question for the search engines category.
Unrelated, but the idea of getting daily news from a chatbot is baffling.
Your question is probably unrelated to how they asked the question.
To answer your question: search engines or social media would be the discovery mechanism while the source would be your primary.
As a former market researcher, they probably ask, "of the following potential sources of news how often would you say you use them? Once or twice a week, three to five times a week, or six or seven times a week, or not at all?" Although it could just be a yes or no question. But they usually like a little bit of granularity.
