The Challenge of News Avoidance

The Challenge of News Avoidance. The decline in internet usage and the selective avoidance of news have become a concern for publishers. The Washington Post journalist Amanda Ripley calls for journalism that explains the news better and gives people hope. Solutions and constructive journalism are gaining momentum with publishers and independent websites, particularly among young people. Some publishers are integrating features to allow people to see more positive news, such as Pink News' mood control button. Independent creators are already attracting large audiences on TikTok with positive news round-ups, even on serious topics like climate.
