In 2022 the news focused on a single subject
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskThese rankings come from a dataset of 6.5m stories on 32 newsy topics compiled by Chartbeat, an analytics firm. Of the 1bn hours audiences spent reading them, the war accounted for 278m in total—a similar share to covid’s in 2021—and 6.4m on the day the invasion began. That exceeds the combined first-day tallies for the death of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II and Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.
Various American political topics also ranked highly, though this may reflect the concentration of Chartbeat’s clients in English-speaking markets. The midterm elections racked up 145m hours and Joe Biden 137m. Strikingly, Donald Trump, now just a former president, still amassed 100m—matching the combined total for stories about politics in Britain, which ran through three prime ministers in 50 days.
As for the previous year’s leading subject, pandemic fatigue among audiences set in just as the war in Ukraine began. In early January the then-novel Omicron variant was the biggest story, peaking at 800,000 hours of readers’ time on January 6th. Since then, however, interest has waned, even though the death toll attributable to covid in 2022 is probably similar to that of 2020.
