The global trend of people avoiding news due to feeling overwhelmed, fatigued, or powerless can have significant impacts on society and politics. With news avoidance at record high levels, there is a risk that the public may become increasingly disconnected from important information that affects their lives. This could result in a lack of civic engagement, uninformed voting decisions, and a breakdown of trust in institutions. Additionally, the decline in interest in news may lead to a decrease in accountability for those in power, as fewer people are paying attention to current events and developments. It is important for individuals to be cautious about completely turning away from the news, as staying informed is crucial for a functioning democracy.
