Have news audiences become more polarised over time? How do they access news about the climate crisis? Which journalists do people pay attention to and why? How will inflation impact the rise of reader revenue models? Are people avoiding the news on purpose amid the anxieties caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine? How do younger audiences get their news? 

These are some of the questions at the heart of the Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report 2022, the most comprehensive study of news consumption worldwide, based on a YouGov survey of over 92,000 online news consumers in 46 markets.
