State of the News 2025: Algorithms, Influencers, and Distrust

As traditional news media continues to lose ground, where are people really getting their information — and can they trust it?

In this episode, we dive into the Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2025, the most comprehensive global analysis of how news consumption is evolving. From the decline of TV and print to the dominance of TikTok, YouTube, and influencers as news sources, the report paints a stark picture of shifting habits — and rising challenges.

We explore:

Why younger audiences are abandoning mainstream outlets
How social platforms and personalities are shaping public opinion
The rise of misinformation and distrust in online spaces
What newsrooms are doing to stay alive — and relevant — in the algorithm age
Global perspectives on AI-generated news, payment models, and trust

Whether you're a journalist, media exec, or just trying to make sense of the news you scroll through every day, this conversation is essential listening.
