The number of news consumers paying for online news increased by 4 percentage points from 2016 to 2021. In bad news for commercial publishers, the vast majority of those who are currently not paying (83%) say it is unlikely that they will pay in the future. While publishers hope audiences will move from paying for newspapers to paying for online news, the research shows that only 13% of Australians are paying for online news, which is below the global average of 17%. The Covid crisis had a detrimental effect on the news media, with hundreds of newspapers closing or moving to digital-only and hundreds of journalists losing their jobs. “Overall, those who mainly use traditional news sources tend to feel more attached to their communities than those who consume news via online or social media sources,” the report’s lead author, Prof Sora Park, said.ĭespite a surge in consumption of news during the Covid crisis of 2020, the number of Australians paying for news has not increased and the interest in news overall has declined. The loss of print newspapers is not just economic but has had an impact on social cohesion, with print readers more likely to say they feel attached to their local community (73%) than those who rely on other news media.
