The Atlantic has the best-educated readers of 30 major news organizations, according to a new study by Pew Research. 

But several other publications also have readers with bachelor’s degrees at least, including Axios, NPR, the New York Times, the Guardian and the Wall Street Journal. 

The lowest percentages are those of Univision and Telemundo.

“Republican voters are generally less likely than Democratic voters to have a college degree,” Pew writes. “But these differences in audiences’ educational levels aren’t just the result of partisan preferences for different outlets. Even within each party, the audiences of various news sources have widely different levels of educational attainment. For example, Republicans who regularly get news from The Wall Street Journal are much more likely to have a college degree than Republicans who regularly get news from CBS News."

Here is a list of the news sources and the percentages of audience members with a college degree. The national average is 36%.
