I encourage you to visitour website, which this year contains a completely redesignedinteractive area allowing you to generate charts and downloaddata for a range of core indicators back as far as 2013. The fifteenth edition of the Reuters InstituteDigital News Reportcomes at a moment of profound global precarity and the data inour 2026 report reflect that. As news cycles go, last year’s high-pitched election coverageacross many countries was quickly replaced by a world grapplingwith significant political and economic volatility. Against thisbackdrop, we see audiences reacting with a mix of anxiety anddisengagement, and searching for new ways to make sense oftheir daily lives. Our report this year is based on data from almost 100,000individual survey respondents. Because we use online polling,our focus remains on countries with relatively high internetpenetration, and the report provides more detail aboutdifferences in polling samples in pages outlining the methodologyand the relevant country pages. We continue to work to improvedata quality on both. Three key themes emerge in our report this year aroundstructural access, formats for consuming the news, and trustlevels amongst audiences. A report of this scale and scope is only possible due tocollaboration with our partners and sponsors around the world.We partner with outstanding academics, experienced journalists,and media experts whose support is vital in developing our surveyquestions, writing many of the country pages, helping withinterpretation, and in many cases publishing their own reports. The first central theme is the intensifying ‘platformisation’ ofnews consumption. Social media and video networks are now themost widely used sources of news globally, ahead of both TV newsand news organisations’ own online properties in terms of theproportion of people using them weekly. The second theme is born of the first. News consumption onthese platforms is marked by the growing importance of onlinevideo and the rise of creators and influencers as part of the newsenvironment. For many audiences, these sources complementrather than replace traditional news, but they are redrawingthe format, tone, and accessibility of journalism and the public.We are also witnessing the first meaningful steps towards theintegration of artificial intelligence into news journeys. We are hugely grateful to our sponsors, in particular to our mainsponsor, the Google News Initiative, which continues to supportresearch on a truly international scale, as well as BBC News,Code for Africa, Ofcom, the Irish Coimisiún na Meán, the DutchMedia Authority (CvdM), the Media Industry ResearchFoundation of Finland, the Fritt Ord Foundation, the Korea PressFoundation, Edelman UK, NHK (Japan), YouTube, and the ReutersNews Agency, as well as our academic sponsors at the LeibnizInstitute for Media Research/Hans Bredow Institute, theUniversity of Navarra, the University of Canberra, the Centred’études sur les médias, and Roskilde University. Fundación Gabocontinues to support the translation of the report into Spanish. These developments point to an information environmentwhere pathways between journalism and the public arebecoming less direct and more fragmented. News consumptionis also less intentional. The third key takeaway from our findings this year points to trustlevels amongst audiences. Trust dropped significantly in 29 of the48 markets we surveyed, and overall trust levels have fallen totheir lowest since we started tracking this metric. From a periodof relative stability, these drops are significan
