This year we asked about Climate News User Needs and the gap is clear.
They value coverage that informs and explains climate issue but feel media can do better. It also fits with how audiences see journalistic roles here: more as educators/curators/watchdogs than e.g., gatekeepers.

The News is Not Made for Me scale is an 8-item scale that investigates the growing gap between news providers and audiences as well as audience inequality gaps related to news use and benefits. It gets at what we call "agnostic" features of news - such as pace, language, and access.

Using a panel survey in Brazil & UK, we see that people who feel the most alienated from news tend to be younger, lower SES, have lower news self-efficacy, greater interest in soft news, and have more attention problems. These findings highlight the overwhelming relentlessness of news cycles.

I guess I just think anyone who says stuff like "The groupchats are the memetic upstream of mainstream opinion" should be stuffed in a locker and never let out.
These groupchats are only powerful because of the sheer concentration of wealth. Your crowd isn't brilliant or clever. You're just rich.
