Dr. Jennifer Hoewe
Enjoyment Is Breaking News (The MIT Press, 2026)
In my book, I detail the current news environment and how it has evolved in recent decades. I present evidence showing that the rise of news enjoyment is leaving news consumers less informed and more divided. The book explores the impact of these changes on news consumers, concluding with recommendations for journalists and the public to foster better democratic outcomes moving forward.
