The search detour is ending — people are heading straight to news again

The search detour is ending — people are heading straight to news again

  • News websites beat Google — and the gap is growing. Direct news sites overtook Google/Search as the top news source in late 2025 and now lead by 4.3 percentage points (54.5% vs. 50.2%).

  • People are bypassing search to go straight to the source. The shift tracks rising skepticism toward AI-generated answers and toward intermediaries in general. Subscribe today to stay ahead of the curve.
