New report: What challenges does the news industry face and how can researchers respond?

[T.J. Thomson]

Dear Colleagues (with apologies for any cross-posting),

Hope you've had a chance to get some rest after this past week's AANZCA and JERAA conferences.

The News, Technology, and Society Network has published a new report, Resourcing, technology & audiences: An industry-led agenda for journalism practice and research, which might be of interest to some on this list and which can be accessed here: https://apo.org.au/node/332662

The report identifies the current challenges the news industry faces and identifies ways that researchers can respond. 

It does this through feedback provided by representatives from four segments (small/independent/community media, large commercial media, public media, and journalism associations) and maps which challenges are shared across the sector and which are unique to each segment.

Happy reading and all the best for the remainder of the year ahead,

T.J.
