news watching
Tracking what's happening now
News watching is the habit or activity of following current events through television, websites, or other media.
The term often carries a slight suggestion of passivity or excess: Too much news watching can increase anxiety.
Someone who engages in news watching may do so casually or compulsively, tracking breaking stories throughout the day.
