We live in an age of relentless information. The news pings, scrolls and streams into every corner of daily life and for many of us, it has simply become too much.
This book explores the growing phenomenon of news saturation: why ordinary people, including regular news users, increasingly tune out, switch off and step back. Drawing on cross-disciplinary research, it reveals how information overload, doomscrolling and news fatigue are reshaping our relationship with media and democracy.
This is essential reading for anyone trying to make sense of what news means - and doesn't mean - in a digitally saturated world.
