Ireland’s news landscape is shifting fast: RTÉ still leads online with 37% of viewers, followed by The Journal at 29%, but nearly half of the population is actively avoiding news amid rising overwhelm.

Trust in media has dipped to 42%, with younger adults (18-24) showing the least confidence and turning to social media creators and AI chatbots—14% of them use AI weekly. Traditional outlets face shrinking audiences as tech-driven consumption surges, signaling a rapid, disruptive transformation in how we get our news.
