June 17, 2026Hosted by: Zara Seidler and Elliot LawryProduced by: Orla Maher

Earlier this week, a new report on how Aussies consume news media was released. It’s the latest in a long-running international survey that compares data on media usage in 48 different countries, and is deemed the authoritative source of information for understanding changing attitudes and behaviours when it comes to news. 

In today’s podcast, we’re gonna break down some of the biggest findings, including that young people’s trust in news jumped significantly in a single year, Australia is bucking global trends when it comes to interest in news and that news creators are growing steeply in popularity.
