Journalism has suffered greatly since the Taliban re-took control. The crackdown on independent media and the financial crisis has led to 250 media outlets closing, and the number of women journalists still working has collapsed, reports @Raksha_Kumar

In this piece for the Guardian, Sana pleads with the west to engage with the Taliban to pressure them and hold them accountable and "also to help those already on the brink of destitution. Aid must get through to the poorest"

🧶 5 charts in thread
1. There'll be more iteration than new ideas in 2022

🛠 67% of the news leaders in our sample say their main focus will be in improving existing products. Only 32% say they'll spend most of their time launching new ones
2. Lack of skills and resources seems to be the biggest barrier to innovation

👷‍♀️ 51% of the news leaders surveyed think the main barriers they encounter are the lack of skills to deliver solutions and the lack of resources. Strategy, not execution seems to be the key problem

First the good news:

👍 Even with the pandemic still raging and online traffic falling for many companies, 59% of the news leaders in our survey say their revenue has increased over the last year reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/journalism-med… Image
In the light of these figures, it’s not surprising that 75% of the managers surveyed say they are confident about their company’s prospects for 2022. However, only 60% say the same about journalism as a whole reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/journalism-med… Image

Indifference, not hostility, is the primary challenge for journalists when trying to increase trust in news. This is one of the findings from a report we published today, based on new survey data from 🇧🇷🇮🇳🇬🇧🇺🇸

📱Full report here
reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/overcoming-ind…
🧶 Key findings in thread
The report shows that people who lack trust in news are not the most vocal critics about news coverage, but often the least knowledgeable about journalism and the least interested in the editorial decisions publishers and editors make everyday reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/overcoming-ind…
The report lays out 3 types of people in 🇧🇷🇮🇳🇬🇧🇺🇸

👎 the ‘generally untrusting’
🧐 the ‘selectively trusting’
👍 the ‘generally trusting’

These groups are defined on the basis of the relative number of news brands they say they trust ‘somewhat’ or ‘completely’

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

This is the question at the heart of a report by @rasmus_kleis @annisch @dragz, with data from 🇦🇷🇧🇷🇩🇪🇯🇵🇰🇷🇪🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸

📚 Read here
reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/ongoing-infode…
🧶 Key findings in thread
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
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 🇦🇷🇺🇸

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."
