While digital is the growth engine for news and the preferred medium for most readers (19.5 million) almost two in three readers (13.0 million) engage with printed newspaper formats.
ThinkNewsBrands general manager Vanessa Lyons said: “With major national and international news events dominating the headlines in the first three months of this year, including the war in Ukraine, the devastating floods and the upcoming Federal Election, it’s little surprise news readership is up for this period in line with the previous one. News continues to solidify the important role it plays in the lives of Australians.”
