BBC: Sharp decline in appetite for news in recent years, Reuters Institute says
The number of people taking a strong interest in the news has dropped by around a quarter in the last six years, a global study suggests.
A report by Oxford University's Reuters Institute says 48% of people around the world are very or extremely interested in the news - down from 63% in 2017.
In the UK, the proportion is lower than the global average at 43%.
More than a third of people (36%) worldwide say they sometimes or often actively avoid the news.
The authors of the institute's report said there was evidence that audiences "continue to selectively avoid important stories such as the war in Ukraine and the cost-of-living crisis as they cut back on depressing news and look to protect their mental health".

Influencers ehh? Poor kids I'm really starting to pity them
Interest in news has declined because actual news has declined, replaced by activist propaganda, social media groupthink cancel-culture woke bullshit, and celebrity headlines. In fact, since Trump (and the ongoing effort to destroy him), the leftstream media don't even bother anymore to obfuscate their bias.
Ditto baby ditto... 👍
