The thirteenth Digital News Report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford explores changes to the global news ecosystem based on a YouGov survey of over 95,000 online news consumers in 47 media markets.

The report documents the declining importance of legacy social platforms such as Facebook and X for news discovery and consumption, while video formats and networks are becoming more popular. In a year that sees a record number of elections around the globe, concern about misinformation has risen further with worries about AI-generated content a contributory factor. Meanwhile, trust in the news remains low and selective news avoidance has risen again, against a backdrop of continuing conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.
