📌 Our Digital News Report 2024 is out! The most comprehensive report on news consumption worldwide. 🗺️ 47 markets 📋 95,000 respondents Here are some key findings: 1. We find a further decline in the use of Facebook for news. It's gone from 42% to 26% since 2016 in the 12 markets we've tracked in the last 10 years. Our data shows a growing reliance on a range of alternatives including messaging apps and video networks. 2. These top line figures hide big geographical differences: -Many still use Facebook for news in Philippines, Colombia and Malaysia. -TikTok is huge (and growing rapidly) in Thailand, Kenya, Indonesia and other markets of the Global South. 3. Video is becoming a more important source of online news, especially for the young. Short videos are accessed by 66% of our global sample, with longer formats attracting around half (51%). 4. The report documents the rise of a new generation of news creators. A good example is Hugo Decrypte, who produces explainer videos on TikTok and YouTube and was cited by respondents more often than French legacy publishers Le Monde or Le Figaro. 5. Concern about online misinformation has risen by 3 points in the last year with 59% saying they are worried about it. In terms of platforms, concern is highest for TikTok and X. 6. As publishers embrace the use of AI, we find widespread public suspicion about how it might be used, especially for ‘hard’ news stories. 7. We find little growth in news subscriptions, with 17% saying they paid for news online. Norway (40%) and Sweden (31%) have the highest %, and Japan (9%) and the UK (8%) the lowest. In many countries we find evidence of heavy discounting. 8. Trust in the news (40%) has remained stable over the last year, but is still four points lower than it was at the height of COVID-19. 9. High standards, a transparent approach, lack of bias, and fairness in terms of media representation are the 4 primary factors that influence trust 🔗 Read the report online in HTML and PDF in English and Spanish on our website: https://lnkd.in/dsFtKZHy #DNR24

Exploring the future of journalism worldwide through engagement, debate and research. Based at University of Oxford.
About us
The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, established in autumn 2006, is based at the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. The Thomson Reuters Foundation has supported a programme of visiting fellowships for journalists from around the world based at what is now Green Templeton College in Oxford since 1983. The RISJ builds on this tradition and is now a university research centre for international comparative journalism. Anchored in the recognition of the key role of independent media in open societies and the power of information in the modern world, the Institute aims to serve as the leading forum for a productive engagement between scholars from a wide range of disciplines and the practitioners of journalism. It brings the depth and rigour of academic scholarship of the highest standards to major issues of relevance to the world of practice of news media. It is global in its perspective and in the content of its activities. Its expanded activities include short-term and long-term research projects, a regular series of seminars, workshops, annual conferences, debates and innovative curricular development, both independently and in meaningful collaboration with other centres in Oxford University and with the global world of practice.

Nigerian journalist Philip Obaji Jr. has covered the Wagner Group in Africa for years. In this new piece by Patrick Egwu he shares what he’s learnt. Obaji is an award-winning reporter who's been covering the Wagner Group's activities in Africa since 2018. Throughout these years, he’s reported on coups, security contracts and human rights abuses, and was recently abducted and tortured while reporting on this Russian private army founded by Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close confidant of Vladimir Putin who died in a plane crash in 2023. Our contributor Patrick Egwu spoke with Obaji about this difficult beat. The interview includes insights on his reporting and the reason he keeps doing this work. "I know this reporting is dangerous. But I feel that I have a sense of responsibility not just to the news organisation I work for but also to the many people who have come under Wagner's aggression and abuse. So I'll continue to do my best," he says. Read the piece in full below https://lnkd.in/dj-ZrsDt
