NDM case study: How has news changed?

2) The most popular platform to access the news would be TV which has had 67%. This has changed in comparison to 2014 which has had 75% of adults who would use TV. This has highlighted how audiences are slowly transitioning to online.

3) 51% of 16-24 would use TV for news in comparison to the 86% of 55+ who would use the news for TV. Newspapers have also seen a similar pattern with 21% of 16-24 reading newspapers in comparison to 44% of 55+. However there is a contrast when it comes to online. This is proven with 59% of 16-24 while 55+ would have 23% using online to access the news.

4) It has been shown that AB socioeconomic groups would want the news in comparison to those who would be in DE. One reason why I think that there would be the contrast in between both socioeconomic classes is because AB are more likely to choose academic courses which may require knowledge of the wider world. As well as that, they might also want to be updated about the news. Meanwhile DE may not go to news channels or simillar content is because they may not have access to the news. 
AB/DE
TV: 71%/67%
Internet: 50%/29%
Newspapers: 38%/26%
Radio: 46%/23%

5) There are four platforms that are used to access the news.
19% only use TV for the news
-26% are 55+ 
-28% DE 
-13% 16-24s
-14% AB
11% only using the internet for news
-20% 16-24
2% 55+
3% only using radio for news
2% only using newspapers

6) The change over time is that it has decreased over time. BBC had 73% in 2013. However it is at 71% in 2014. This would show that audiences are turning away from TV to better platforms such as the internet. Age was also a matter as the BBC had 16-24 had watched 25 hours in 2014 in comparison to the 189 hours that 55+ have had in 2014.

7) The amount of newspapers readers who would have decreased by 27% from 2005 to 2014.

8) The newspapers that were that in 2014 29.3% of 14-24s read print newspapers. Meanwhile a larger amount were 67.9% of 65+ would read newspapers.

9) The most read newspapers were The Sun (20%), Daily Mail (19%), the
Daily Mirror (13%), the Metro (12%) and The Times (9%)

The most read newspaper which is The Sun has a right-wing view.
Daily Mail has a Right Wing approach
Daily Mirror is Left Wing

10) 59% UK adults aged 16-24 use the internet for news. 23% of those are aged 55+. 53% of those in the ABC1 socio-economic group use online sources for news, compared to a third (32%) of those in the C2DE socio-economic group. Men are more likely than women to say they use internet for news (45% vs. 37%)

11) (51%) say they use the website or apps of TV and radio companies to get news. 

12) 43% only use social media as a news source.


13) 56% of online news users said they used the BBC website or app compared to 59% in 2014. Facebook was the second most popular response, up by 12 percentage points since 2014 from 17% to 29%). This was followed by the Google search engine (15%) and the Sky
News website or app (14%).

14) 61% of 16-24 who use the internet for news would only use social media. This contrasts the 26% who would use social media to get updated.

15) breaking news would be the main type of news that social media users would use to get updated on topics.

16) Now that there is new and digital media for audiences to get updated on the News, would help them with key updates since they would have notifications to keep them ready for new stories. As well as that social media can be translated so therefore people can understand stories so that they could understand different viewpoints.

17) Institutions can benefit from the change as they can now find new ways to communicate with their audience. There has been more citizen journalism stories more recently in comparison to the past which could show a witness perspective of the story. As well as citizen journalism it is now easier to promote themselves if they are trending and have a good following then be shared so that this could entice new readers.

18) The downsides that audiences may have suffered is that there may be more biased content. This is because there are more sources of the news besides the news so therefore this might mean that someone who has a strong following might influence their audience to vote. Especially considering that the Presidential debate has occurred, this has made more opinion leaders actively expressing their opinion on whether Democrats or Republicans win.

19) Institutions might suffer because of the new news sources such as the YouTube channels that would report the news. In this case the YouTubers might even be preferred over traditional news channels which might mean that they may lose viewership.

20) Institutions have benefited this as they can gather content from recorded footage that can present the story in a new perspective. As well as that institutions can also interact with its audience as it would help them create content for their audience. As well as that they can also share their content making it more easier for the audience to view their reports easier.

However audiences have also benefited form the change as they can now access the news in various websites. As well as that they can also share their opinion on the topic so that they can also view other opinions that may contrast theirs. They can also intrigue a younger audience to read their content that would ake them interested in reading more regularly.

In conclusion I think that audiences gained more benefits than the institutions as there are more ways to interact with the news which can help them understand the story as well as catch-up on missed stories online.
