AI-personalized news takes new forms (but do readers want it?)
Many outlets have been personalizing news recommendations for years, but generative AI introduces the possibility to personalize news formats.

News is too much and too negative according to growing shares of the audience.
In 2025, 40% say they sometimes or often avoid the news (up from 29% in 2017). Switzerland & Germany right on trend.
Why?
• 39%: “negatively affects my mood”
• 31%: “worn out by the amount”
• 30%: “too much conflict”
