• Dr Caroline Fisher who says, the Digital News Australia is an annual report of online Australians who consume news and we have done this for five years now and one of the unique things about the study is we can observe the youth consumption of news globally... only 9 per cent chose to pay for news as their first option unlike Netflix and Amazon which got about 34 per cent... 27 per cent of people who agreed that news was not relevant to them... interest in news has already dropped... young women particularly find that news is not engaging.
