A growing number of people are selectively avoiding important news stories such as the coronavirus pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the cost-of-living crisis, according to a report released on Tuesday.

While the majority of people surveyed consume news regularly, 38% said they often or sometimes avoid the news – up from 29% in 2017 – the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism said in its annual Digital News Report.Trust in news is also declining, and is lowest in the United States.On average, 42% of people said they trust most news most of the time; that figure has fallen in almost half the countries in the report and risen in seven.

Younger audiences are increasingly accessing the news via platforms such as TikTok, and have a weaker connection to news brands, the report found.

When is the going to camp outside PhalaPhalaFarm we need robust reporting and unwaivering objectivity from SA media houses. It's really sad how you operate.

Though the researchers didn’t reach out to me, count me in…we’re tired shem.
