Why more and more people are tuning the news out:
‘Now I don’t
have that
anxiety’
- 40%
of people
across nearly
50 countries
say they
sometimes or
often avoid
the news, up
from 29% in
2017; the
figure is 42%
in the US and
46% in the UK,
with negative
impact on mood
the top
reason.
- Studies
show high news
exposure,
especially via
TV, social
media, and
graphic
imagery, is
linked to
greater
anxiety,
depression,
stress, and
political
polarization.
- Many
people are
limiting apps,
reading
summaries, or
avoiding
videos to
cope, but
consistent
news avoidance
is more common
among young
people, women,
and lower
socioeconomic
groups,
raising
concerns about
political
disengagement.
Science research gets more engagement on Bluesky
than X, study
finds
- Bluesky,
launched in
2023 and now
with 38M
users, has
become a hub
for
researchers
seeking
constructive,
troll-free
conversations,
with many
scientists
migrating from
X due to
falling
engagement and
rising
misinformation.
- A
study of 2.6M
Bluesky posts
referencing
500,000+
scholarly
articles found
higher
engagement and
originality
than on X:
nearly half of
posts got 10+
likes and a
third 10+
reposts,
compared with
just 4.4% on
X.
- Scientific
discussion on
Bluesky surged
in 2024, with
August seeing
twice as many
science posts
per day as
July and over
three times
March’s
volume;
engagement
remains strong
despite
overall user
activity
declining
since autumn
2024.
