New by Ruth Palmer & Stephanie Edgerly in Journalism Studies: 2/3 of 🇺🇸 journalists think solutions to news avoidance are possible when⬆️relevance, positivity & ⬇️bias & sensationalism. But: this doesn't tackle structural causes & has barriers to implementation tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
In this paper, Ruth Palmer & Stephanie Edgerly use an iterative, mixed-methods approach to analyze responses to an open-ended survey question which asked US journalists why they believe people consume little to no news. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
ONLINE FIRST! Why do people avoid the news, according to journalists? Ruth Palmer and Stephanie Edgerly find that journalists attribute news avoidance to negative or biased news, life circumstances, and the avoiders themselves. ➡️tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Consistent news avoidance challenges journalism’s aspiration to be for the whole public and means millions of people miss out on what news has to offer. A privilege for Ruth Palmer and I to share our work w/Benjamin Toff at #WNMC24 and see such interest in wrestling with this.
Why is selective news avoidance growing, and why are some people consistently avoiding the news? Was on BBC News to discuss #DNR24 (selective news avoidance up, again), and the work Benjamin Toff Ruth Palmer and I have done in our book on news avoidance cup.columbia.edu/book/avoiding-…

🧐 "Vamos a ver una mayor desigualdad en la información, en parte debido al tipo de cambios en el periodismo y a su lugar en la sociedad. Eso es preocupante", advierte Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, director del Instituto Reuters en español. Una gran entrevista de María Ramírez. 👇eldiario.es/cultura/rasmus…

Lastly, in “How Journalists Perceive News Avoidance” Ruth Palmer and Stephanie Edgerly analyze what journalists think could prevent news avoidance, recommending more relevance and positivity + less bias and sensationalism, but overlooking structural causes. doi.org/10.1080/146167…
"Being immersed in a community of people who talk about news, value it, and help make sense of it can make it go down easier."—Benjamin Toff, Ruth Palmer, Rasmus Kleis Nielsen buff.ly/4dnEqOv @benjamintoff Ruth Palmer Rasmus Kleis Nielsen #InformYourVote #NewsAvoidance
Many news avoiders (+ other Americans) "see journalists as part of the same disconnected elites. They see them just like politicians who are out to serve themselves" Benjamin Toff tells Eduardo Suárez, have "feeling of news being produced for other people" reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/why-milli…
