Recommendation

Old-school print, radio and television journalists, and traditional media venues often do well in a crisis. And the world has plenty of those, including climate change, the pandemic and war. While many journalists and media institutions have adapted to digital technologies, they still struggle to gain reader and viewer attention in a diffused, competitive media world. Many people don’t care about the news, and distrust the people and institutions that provide it. A surprising number avoid the news altogether. Researchers at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism studied this phenomenon internationally with empirical rigor. Their report provides insight, explanations and detailed information on the state of digital news worldwide.   

Take-Aways

  • People’s trust in the news is in decline worldwide.
  • More and more people feel disconnected from the news and are turning away from it altogether.
  • People’s willingness to pay for online news is flattening. Younger people oppose paying for news content.
