The News is Not Made for Me scale is an 8-item scale that investigates the growing gap between news providers and audiences as well as audience inequality gaps related to news use and benefits. It gets at what we call "agnostic" features of news - such as pace, language, and access.

A screenshot of a table from the manuscript. A purple header is labeled "Item" followed by the 8-items of the scale and a research note on alternating gray and white rows.

Using a panel survey in Brazil & UK, we see that people who feel the most alienated from news tend to be younger, lower SES, have lower news self-efficacy, greater interest in soft news, and have more attention problems. These findings highlight the overwhelming relentlessness of news cycles.

Coefficient plot from the manuscript titled "Linear Regression Results with News is Not Made for Me as DV" with variables on the y-axis and coefficient estimates on the x-axis. There are pink lines for UK results and teal lines for Brazil results.
