Australians love to read the news, and perhaps aren’t having as much fresh fruit as they should, according to the latest Total News readership figures, produced by Roy Morgan.

The latest figures, crunched for ThinkNewsBrands, show that 20.8 million Australians over 14 read the news each month, a figure that represents 96% of the population.
