media diet
News consumption habits
A media diet is the sum of information sources a person regularly consumes—news outlets, social media, podcasts, television.
The term borrows from nutritional vocabulary, implying that media intake can be healthy or unhealthy, balanced or excessive.
Curating your media diet means being intentional about what you read, watch, and listen to.
Someone might go on a media diet to reduce consumption entirely.
