Andrew Holden: News Publishers' Association Director of Public Affairs on the public appetite for local news
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Podcast készítő Newstalk ZB - Csütörtökök
New research is underlining the public appetite for news by local journalists. Commissioned by the News Publishers' Association, it surveyed just more than 1500 New Zealand adults. Association Director of Public Affairs Andrew Holden says 93% of respondents access the news at least once a day across a range of different sources, and over 80% trust news provided by local outlets. Holden told Mike Hosking that when it comes to trust and the media, there tends to be a low level of trust reported as most people are thinking about media giants such as Fox News or the DailyMail. He said that when it comes to specific local outlets, people tend to trust them more as they have a connection to it. It comes as discussions continue around legislation to force social media giants to pay for using news media. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
