News avoidance is now at record high levels, the Reuters Institute's 2024 Digital News Report says.
More people are turning away from news, describing it as depressing, relentless and boring, a global study suggests.
It comes at a time when billions of people around the world have been going to the polls in national and regional elections. Mr Newman said those choosing to selectively avoid the news also often do so because they feel "powerless". Women and younger people were more likely to feel worn out by the amount of news around, according to the report.
In the UK, almost three-quarters of people said they get their news online, compared with 50% for TV and just 14% for print.
