Emotional toll of constant negative news and unlimited access to ‘doomscrolling’ has led to record-high news avoidance
News has never been more accessible – but for some, that’s exactly the problem. Flooded with information and relentless updates, more and more people around the world are tuning out.
The reasons vary: for some it’s the sheer volume of news, for others the emotional toll of negative headlines or a distrust of the media itself. In online forums devoted to mindfulness and mental health, people discuss how to step back, from setting limits to cutting the news out entirely.
I think sometimes the underlying website doesn't even know they're offering it because it's built into the blogging software. I would think it's going to be mostly supported by sites that follow an article style blogging format... So a lot of news, but probably other bloggers too.
I'd also recommend picking a local affiliate and trying those out. I like getting news specific to my local area, and my local CBS affiliate has RSS support.
