Newspaper sales have been in decline for decades, and most Americans now prefer to get news from digital devices. In this environment, many news organizations — and not just newspapers — put paywalls1 on their websites or apps, blocking access to articles or other content unless news consumers pay or subscribe.
The vast majority of Americans (83%) say they have not paid for news in 2024, according to a survey. Another 17% say they have directly paid or given money to a news source by subscribing, donating or becoming a member during that time.
Among the 83% of United States (U.S.) adults who have not paid for news in 2024, the most common reason they cite is that they can find plenty of other news articles for free. About half of those who don’t pay for news (49%) say this is the main reason.
Another common reason people don’t pay for news is that they are not interested enough (32%). Smaller shares of Americans who don’t pay for news say the main reason is that it’s not affordable (10%) or that the news provided isn’t good enough to pay for (8%).

Tendência por idade: o gráfico mostra uma clara subida na proporção de adultos que pagaram por notícias conforme aumentam as faixas etárias. Em outras palavras, quanto maior a idade, maior a participação de quem pagou.
Interpretação: as barras correspondentes às faixas etárias mais avançadas aparecem com valores superiores aos das faixas mais jovens, evidenciando uma maior proporção de pagamento entre idosos e adultos de meia-idade.
Razões prováveis: isso pode decorrer de maior poder aquisitivo, hábitos de consumo de mídia consolidados e maior interesse em fontes tradicionais entre faixas etárias elevadas.
