🎙 What's the impact of #COVID19 on daily news podcasts?

This is the question at the heart of a new report by @nicnewman & @Gallo__. Data suggests both production and listening are rising

2. One of the key findings of the report is that daily news podcasts punch above their weight

According to @ChartableDotCom data, they represent 1% of the podcasts produced, but up to 10% of the top podcast episodes in some countries Image
3. Looking across the six countries covered by the report, we have counted 102 daily news podcasts, of which 37 were launched in the last year.

As the chart shows, growth picked up after @nytimes launched 'The Daily' in January 2017 Image

2. Previous research has shown digital news sources might be leading to ideological segregation. This study resorts to an unprecedented combination of data to show that increase in mobile access to news actually leads to higher exposure to diverse content
3. This study also suggests that self-selection explains only a small percentage of co-exposure to news and finds that more than half of Internet users in the US do not use online news

As the second wave hits the 🇬🇧 UK, 15% of citizens are at risk of being less informed, uninformed or misinformed about #COVID19

This is the main takeaway of a new report we publish today, funded by @NuffieldFound

📱Read here
reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/communications…
🧶 Key findings in thread
2. The report looks into what our researchers call the ‘infodemically vulnerable’, a group that consumes little to no news about #COVID19, and wouldn't trust it even if they did.

📈 Acc. to the data, this group has grown from 6% of the population in April to 15% by late August
3. It's important to bear in mind that:

🗞 Trust in news organisations as a source of information about the pandemic has fallen 12 percentage points from 57% in April to 45% in August.
📺 #COVID19 daily news use has dropped 24 points over the same period, from 79% to 55%

As authorities consider new restrictions, it's worth looking at the data from our UK #COVID19 news and info project, funded by @NuffieldFound. We conducted surveys from April to August. Here's what we learned

1. Most Brits would take preventive measures to stop infections Image
2. Even among people who say they do not trust the UK government as a source of info about #COVID19, large majorities say they would take 5 of the 6 preventative measures we have data on. We find still higher willingness to adopt them among those who say they trust the government Image
3. Even among people who say they are not relying on news organisations for news and info about coronavirus, a majority say they would take 5 of the 6 preventative measures we have data on. We find still higher willingness to adopt preventive measures among frequent news users Image
