- Here are some key findings about how audiences think about news personalisation in the AI era from my chapter in the @reutersinstitute.bsky.social Digital News Report 2025. 🧵 #DNR25
- First, we looked at audience comfort with personalised *selection* across different kinds of websites and apps to understand how comfort with algorithmic recommendation in news compares to other domains.
- We found that close to half of respondents are comfortable with personalised news selection, but comfort was lower than personalisation for weather, music, or online TV (and higher than for social media/video feeds).

- Overall, 17% of the 70 top editors across the 100 brands covered are people of colour, despite the fact that, on average, 44% of the general population across all five countries are people of colour. This is down 6 pp from last year and 1 pp from when we first started collecting these data in 2020.
- In Brazil, Germany, and the UK, none of the outlets in our sample have a person of colour as top editor. In South Africa, the percentage of top editors of colour dropped from 71% in 2024 to 63% in 2025. In the US, the percentage also decreased from 29% last year to 15% in 2025.

- Among the 32 new top editors across brands covered in 2024 and 2025, 34% are women. In all 12 markets, the majority of top editors are still men, including where women outnumber men among journalists.
- The percentage of women in top editors varies significantly from market to market, from 7% in South Korea to 46% in the UK. We also find country differences in the trends over time.
