News avoidance is now at record high levels, the Reuters Institute's 2024 Digital News Report says.

Haven’t really directly paid attention to the news in about a decade or maybe a bit more. And I think I’m personally much better off for it. I hear about things that are worth hearing about from other people who degrade their mental health to watch that crap. Like, if it’s a big story or a big event, I will hear about it. But those little things just pass me by, and that’s okay.
