Are You Tuning Out the News?

UNITED STATES, JUN 7 – More than 50% of Americans avoid news despite increased information access, driven by distrust and media criticism, experts say.

  • Many people, including a columnist, have recently tuned out the news, reporting feeling better for doing so.
  • This trend occurs amid a difficult media environment, where terms like "fake news" are used broadly to discredit information.
  • Meanwhile, issues such as tax increases, school rezoning, rising or unavailable medication costs, and threatened insurance programs continue to affect communities.
  • For example, President Trump said in the Oval Office, "I don't feel sorry for him, he's vicious," reflecting ongoing political tensions.
  • This combination of confronting serious social problems and a challenging news climate suggests why many individuals choose to disengage from current events.
