For news avoiders, news as reported by the mainstream press is not worth their time or emotional energy, not relevant to their lives, too partisan, or not to be trusted. Even in the last few years as news has seemed particularly pressing, people are increasingly avoiding it as revealed in a recent surveys. In Avoiding News: Reluctant Audiences for Journalism, Rasmus Nielsen, Ruth Palmer, and Benjamin Toff examine the reasons behind news avoidance, its impact, and what, if anything, can be done about it. Their work is based on interviews and surveys with more than 160 news avoiders in Spain, the UK, and the United States. The authors examine how news avoiders get information - social media, friends and family, alternative news sources - and how they develop "folk theories" about how news organizations work. They also consider the ways in which race, class, and gender shape people's ideas about news and how news avoidance affects already disadvantaged communities. The authors conclude that news avoidance is a problem for civil society and has contributed to the recent rise of reactionary populism in the West. To confront the problem of news avoidance a variety of efforts are needed that not only change the content of the news but seek to understand and address individuals' habits and views about news organizations"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Is ignorance bliss? -- Who are consistent news avoiders? -- Why news avoiders say they don't use news -- Identities : how our relationships to communities shape news avoidance -- Ideologies : how beliefs about politics shape news avoidance -- Infrastructures : how media platforms and pathways shape news avoidance -- News for all the people? 650 0 $a News avoidance (Psychology) 650 0 $a News audiences. 650 0 $a Journalism. 650 0 $a Mass media. 650 7 $a Journalism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984032 650 7 $a Mass media $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011219 650 7 $a News audiences $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037017 776 08 $i Online version : $a Nielsen, Rasmus Kleis. $t Avoiding the news $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2023 $z 9780231555883 $w (DLC) 2023027785 700 1 $a Palmer, Ruth, $d 1979 January 16- $e author. 700 1 $a Nielsen, Rasmus Kleis, $d 1980- $e author. 830 0 $a Reuters Institute global journalism series 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619010447.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=496666D82E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
