Staying abstinent from news for various reasons, i.e., to avoid consuming any news. Timescales may vary greatly. The extent of newstinence might differ between strict (absolutely no news) to a more moderate level (for example indirect or involuntary news consumption via friends, acquaintances, colleagues, etc.). Can also be used as an adjective, e.g., staying newstinent for some time. Might be only applicable and sensible to some extent, which depends on the personal situation of an individual as well as the geopolitical situation of their country of residence.
