2024's chaotic news cycles in one chart
Briefly

This year's news cycles, propelled by political turmoil and the Olympics, show how America's short attention span causes dramatic fluctuations in public interest and search trends.
Despite a high-stakes election year, only a few figures, like Trump, Biden, Musk, and Swift, consistently captured public attention amidst shifting news stories.
Trump continues to dominate the news narrative, becoming the first former president to be convicted of a felony, and creating a unique cycle of attention that could redefine political media.
While Israel and Gaza maintained year-round search interest, their story rarely reached the peak of attention that other events did, highlighting the fragmented nature of public interest.
