Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2024

Abstract

The thirteenth Digital News Report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford explores changes to the global news ecosystem based on a YouGov survey of over 95,000 online news consumers in 47 media markets. The report documents the declining importance of legacy social platforms such as Facebook and X for news discovery and consumption, while video formats and networks are becoming more popular. In a year that sees a record number of elections around the globe, concern about misinformation has risen further with worries about AI-generated content a contributory factor. Meanwhile, trust in the news remains low and selective news avoidance has risen again, against a backdrop of continuing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
