Apropos...

1) For all its challenges the BBC is the single most widely used source of news in the UK and is highly and broadly trusted across much of the political spectrum,. See e.g. Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism research here: reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/bbc-und... 1/3
The BBC is under scrutiny. Here’s what research tells about its role in the UK
The BBC is the most widely used source of news in the UK. It has lower reach among the young and the less formally educated.

What if people appreciate having an abundance of content and communication, more than they feel overloaded by it?

@annisch.bsky.social et al decided to have a look. Their results? "We found that appreciation for abundance was about twice as common as overload".

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”
