Listen "More and more aussies turning to social media for news"
Episode Synopsis
More Australians than ever are getting their news from social media with the big platforms expanding their online reach over that of Aussie newsrooms. We're also becoming more and more worried about misinformation but, depending on our political persuasions, we disagree about where it's coming from. The University of Canberra’s News and Media Research Centre’s digital media report for 2025 lays our news consuming souls bare. It's been a week for strange PR apologies, or non apologies. Three Australian companies illustrate how not to do it. And it's Christmas for audio statisticians! The radio stars aligned this week with three sets of data showing us how Australians are listening. Guest: Associate Professor of Communication at the University of Canberra Dr Caroline Fisher ck on the global media industry
