This @nytimes article describes the unease as the coup in Myanmar unfolded.
"The reality of the coup sank in, and panic seemed to grow. Long lines formed outside banks and cash machines. People started rushing to gold shops to exchange currency for gold."
nytimes.com/2021/02/02/opi…
Aye has been outspoken about the practice of western journalists flying into Myanmar, aided by the military, and recklessly endangering their sources, describing it as "parachute journalism that serves no purpose other than chasing higher ratings"

How do people get news and information about #COVID19 one year into the pandemic?

🧶 Key findings in thread Image
First, the good news.

📰 A year into the pandemic, the news media have become even more central to how people stay informed about #COVID19. They are the most widely used source in every country except 🇧🇷. And yet their reach is a bit lower among the younger & the less educated Image
Trust in news orgs has declined less (8 points) than trust in government (13 points) in the last year

👩‍⚕️ In most countries covered, health authorities, doctors and other experts remain highly and broadly trusted, though this trust has declined somewhat too, especially in 🇦🇷🇺🇸 Image

🎙 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

🧶 Key points in thread Image
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

📌 Important new paper published at @PNASNews by @tianyangyt @sgonzalezbailon and our colleagues @silviamajo and @rasmus_kleis

Exposure to news grows less fragmented with an increase in mobile access

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%
