Reviews
A deep dive into the complicated reasons that people distrust the news. A must-read for any journalist who wants to serve the people, meaning all the people--not just their friends and colleagues., This is a beautifully written book that teaches us so much about the nature of our relationships to news by looking in closely at the lives and understandings of people who choose to avoid it., This is urgent, necessary reading for anyone in the business of news, for anyone who cares about the news, and for anyone who wants to ensure a future of fair access to knowledge and information for all. We ignore this meticulously researched and empathetically reported book at our own peril., This book is a wide-ranging investigation of not only the quantitative data about news avoidance but also, most importantly, the sentiments of those who have opted out of quality journalism. If journalists want to regain these readers, then it is crucial that we understand them first. This book serves as an important first step., This book takes a key step toward trying to understand audiences who, quite simply, do not see journalistic work as essential., This book is a deep dive not only to the quantitative data about news avoidance, but most importantly, to the sentiment of those citizens that have opted out of quality journalism. If journalists want to regain these readers, then it is crucial that we understand them first: this book serves as an important first step., News avoiders are one of the most neglected topics in communications research, yet listening to and understanding them may be absolutely crucial for the health of democratic culture. This precisely grounded, sociologically rigorous, and searching three-country study sets completely new standards for pursuing this elusive topic., Makes an important contribution to journalism studies by expanding the discussion on news consumption beyond traditional areas like trust in news and media literacy., This is a clearly written and thought-provoking book which will prove accessible for journalists as well as scholars., The novelty of this book lies in its exploration of consistent news avoidance and its implications for democracy, as well as its methodological contribution to the field of media studies. It offers an in-depth explanation of the phenomenon of news avoidance.

Synopsis
Winner, 2025 Hazel Gaudet-Erskine Best Book Award, International Journal of Press/Politics Winner, 2024 Choice Outstanding Academic Title A small but growing number of people in many countries consistently avoid the news. They feel they do not have time for it, believe it is not worth the effort, find it irrelevant or emotionally draining, or do not trust the media, among other reasons. Why and how do people circumvent news? Which groups are more and less reluctant to follow the news? In what ways is news avoidance a problem--for individuals, for the news industry, for society--and how can it be addressed? This groundbreaking book explains why and how so many people consume little or no news despite unprecedented abundance and ease of access. Drawing on interviews in Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States as well as extensive survey data, Avoiding the News examines how people who tune out traditional media get information and explores their "folk theories" about how news organizations work. The authors argue that news avoidance is about not only content but also identity, ideologies, and infrastructures: who people are, what they believe, and how news does or does not fit into their everyday lives. Because news avoidance is most common among disadvantaged groups, it threatens to exacerbate existing inequalities by tilting mainstream journalism even further toward privileged audiences. Ultimately, this book shows, persuading news-averse audiences of the value of journalism is not simply a matter of adjusting coverage but requires a deeper, more empathetic understanding of people's relationships with news across social, political, and technological boundaries., This groundbreaking book explains why and how so many people consume little or no news despite unprecedented abundance and ease of access., Winner, 2024 Choice Outstanding Academic Title A small but growing number of people in many countries consistently avoid the news.
