In a hypercompetitive media market, the dependence on audience preference compels news outlets like Fox News to cater to what the audience wants over what they need.
The audience's influence on media agenda can distort facticity, leading to the prioritization of sensational stories that attract attention over complex but critical issues like climate change.
Facticity reveals how certain events are deemed newsworthy based on their immediacy or visibility, often sidelining complex topics such as climate change that lack immediate impact.
Journalists have been grappling with how to cover climate change effectively, as it poses a challenge for attracting audience interest despite its significance to global well-being.
