On 16 June we published #DNR20, the most comprehensive report on news consumption worldwide.

🌏 Since then, the report has been featured in at least 1,245 news articles, published by 971 news outlets from 73 different countries.

📰 Here's a sample of that news coverage so far

💰 “The business of news remains bleak. But a ray of hope may be that increasing numbers of people are willing to pay for news online, though that may also increase informational inequality” writes @GuyReuters from @Reuters uk.reuters.com/article/uk-glo…

🇩🇪 "Almost all newspapers, publishers, broadcasters and media companies [in Germany] were less trusted in 2020 compared to a year ago," writes @antonrainer at @derspiegel

🇮🇹 "In Italy newspaper readers continue to decline, television is more stable than in other countries, and the most used tool to consult online news is the smartphone," writes @annamasera at @LaStampa lastampa.it/rubriche/publi…

🇿🇦🇰🇪 "Despite all the misinformation that the contrarian clowns in both countries disseminate, the proportion of Kenyans and South Africans who think climate change is very or extremely serious is exceptionally high," says @ChrisRoper at @BusinessLiveSA businesslive.co.za/fm/features/20…

🇵🇭 "#DNR20 found overall trust in news in the Philippines at a low 27%. Trust in the most battered outlets has suffered, while those which have escaped the presidential wrath have performed better," writes @yvonne_chua at @rapplerdotcom rappler.com/nation/263910-…

🇬🇧 "The British public’s trust in the media has fallen off a cliff, particularly among leftwing voters. The decline has coincided with growth of social media audiences and rounds of cuts at almost every major news outlet," writes @jimwaterson at @guardian theguardian.com/media/2020/jun…

🇺🇸 "The report shows that people are actually most concerned about misinformation spreading from domestic politicians, and a majority said social networks should ban misleading political advertisements," writes @rachelerman at @washingtonpost washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

🇪🇸 "The report shows that 73% of Spaniards get their news through their mobile phones. This percentage is still growing. It was 58% five years ago," writes @locodelpelorojo at @el_pais elpais.com/sociedad/2020-…

🇫🇷 "Despite the challenges created by the pandemic, a welcome silver lining emerges from @risj_oxford #DNR20: in every continent more readers are paying for quality news," writes @vergara_i at @Le_Figaro

🇿🇦 "South Africa was among the countries — after the United States, Brazil and the Philippines — where politicians were seen as having an even higher responsibility for online misinformation than in other regions," writes Sarah Smit at @mailandguardian mg.co.za/news/2020-06-1…

🇮🇪 “Unsurprisingly, Generation Z is highly active on social media and in particular on YouTube and TikTok where they can engage with news in novel ways and participate in content creation with peers,” @JaneSuit says in @IrishTimes irishtimes.com/business/media…

🇨🇦 "As the advertising revenue plummets to new lows in many markets, including Canada, ongoing questions about the funding of distinctive, quality journalism that serves citizens become even more critical," writes @kathyenglish at @TorontoStar thestar.com/opinion/public…

🇦🇷 "The report presents a tough landscape for Latin America, where polarisation, the pandemic and the recession would require people have access to quality news to decide about their vote, health and money," write @PabloBochon & @ugemitch at @infobae infobae.com/america/americ…

🇲🇽 "The future and the survival of the news media will depend on them building a stronger relationship with their digital audiences," writes @holasoto at @eleconomista eleconomista.com.mx/arteseideas/La…

🇬🇧 A few publishers prosper but “a lot of journalists will lose their jobs, a lot of communities will lose their local source of news and a lot of stories will not be covered," says our
@rasmus_kleis in this piece by @annaknicolaou & @alexebarker at @FT on.ft.com/3iabcrg

🇺🇸 "One of the clearest and most obvious trends [from #DNR20] throughout the world was the comparatively good standing journalism finds itself in when compared to platform companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Google," writes @emilybell at @CJR
