TikTok and Instagram increase in popularity for news consumption, but Australians don't trust algorithms
14 June 2023: Australians are shifting their news consumption habits – with women less interested in news than men, and young people moving to social media to get their news – a report from the News and Media Research Centre (N&MRC) at the 69ÂÜÀò has revealed.
The Digital News Report (DNR): Australia 2023 was released today, showing that Australia’s previously high interest in news has fallen to 53 per cent – among women, that figure has hit a record low of 43 per cent.
The report – released this morning via a webinar – is part of a global research project involving 46 countries, co-ordinated by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford.
Results were produced following an online survey with a sample size of 2,025 Australians; the sample is reflective of the population demographic that has access to the Internet.
