Following the election of Joe Biden, journalist Heidi Tworek predicts a shift in interest as 2021 rolls in. She first explains that the administration of the Covid-19 vaccine will lead to more time spent in the real world and less room scrolling. Tworek then goes on to describe the increase in people reading the news during Donald Trump's presidency. She believes that many people voted for Joe Biden because they wanted to go back to the mundane and that "many people may embark upon the news equivalent of a dry January" (Tworek 1). Tworek predicts that journalists will need to begin prioritizing the policies as opposed to the politicians as people choose to avoid political drama.
