Against this backdrop, we see audiences reacting with a mix of anxiety and disengagement, and searching for new ways to make sense of their daily lives.  \nThree key themes emerge in our report this year around structural access, formats for consuming the news, and trust levels amongst audiences.  \nThe first central theme is the intensifying ‘platformisation’ of news consumption. Social media and video networks are now the most widely used sources of news globally, ahead of both TV news and news organisations’ own online properties in terms of the proportion of people using them weekly.  \nThe second theme is born of the first. News consumption on these platforms is marked by the growing importance of online video and the rise of creators and influencers as part ofthe news environment.
