US news consumers are turning to podcaster Joe Rogan and away from traditional sources, report shows

(Reuters) -Prominent podcasters like Joe Rogan are playing a bigger role in news dissemination in the United States, as are AI chatbots, contributing to the further erosion of traditional media, according to a report released on Tuesday. In the week following the January 2025 U.S. presidential inauguration, more Americans said they got their news from social and video networks than from TV and websites and apps - the first time that shift has occurred, the report said. Traditional U.S. increasingly risks being eclipsed by online personalities and creators, the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism said in its annual Digital Report, which is based on an online survey of almost 100,000 people in 48 markets, including the United States.
