"Nearly two out of five people polled in an annual Reuters study have reported sometimes or often avoiding consuming news. The survey was conducted by the media behemoth across 46 countries earlier this year and published on Tuesday.
Avoidance among British respondents has soared the most, with 46% claiming to shun the news “sometimes” or “often” – nearly twice as many as in 2016.
The BBC suffered the worst drop among all public media brands covered in the report, losing 20 percentage points since 2018.
Among the reasons cited by UK residents for distrusting their media was a concern that news organizations put their own commercial and political interests ahead of that of society."
