A recent study conducted by the University of Chicago found a growing tendency among Americans to limit their consumption of political and conflict-related news abroad.
According to the data, 65% of Americans are avoiding political news, while 50% reported taking the same attitude toward reporting on international conflicts. This reluctance to consume political news is also reflected in the ratings of television networks.
After the last election, prime-time viewership for MSNBC and some other networks dropped by 54%, in contrast, Fox News saw an increase in audience, becoming the preferred network for political news for 72% of respondents. .
Experts suggest that this trend may be related to people's fatigue with repetitive or polarizing content and a general decline in trust in traditional media.
In addition, the study highlights a change in the consumer behavior of the audience, where a large proportion of people are choosing to be informed from alternative sources or are avoiding the news altogether to maintain their mental well-being.
This reflects a new challenge for the news industry, which must find ways to reinvigorate public interest and increase involvement, without sacrificing the quality or ethics of reporting. (A2 Televizion)
