Elon Musk's social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), has removed automatically generated headlines from links to external websites, including news articles, as part of his efforts to reshape the platform and reduce traffic to other sites. The new format displays lead images and web domains but omits headlines, depriving readers of crucial context. This change is seen as a move to discourage users from clicking on external links and may have a significant adverse impact on click-through rates and user engagement. Critics argue that it is part of a broader attempt to undermine news organizations' reach on the platform. Musk has previously framed traditional news media websites as direct competitors to X and has implemented other policies that reduce the spread of misinformation and disinformation on the site.

Kennedy Human Rights shows that nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults say the news media is increasing political polarization in the country, and just under half say they have little to no trust in the media’s ability to report the news fairly and accurately. The survey reveals the complicated relationship many Americans have with the media, with a majority rating in-depth and investigative reporting as very helpful or extremely helpful for understanding the issues they care about, but they are more likely to say they regularly scan the headlines than read an in-depth investigative article.
