  Speaker 1: It's too early early truly for white it's too early
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: for this. What has ruffled your feathers this morning?
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: There's a survey, a new survey out that has found
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the majority of Australians between eighteen and twenty five have
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: never used a newspaper or radio as a source of news.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: This is according to the twenty twenty six Digital News Report,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: which attracks the changing habits of news consumers. Now, the
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: good thing is that's not to say they're not interested,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: because in fact, interest in news has increased since in
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: the last two years. The interest of eighteen to twenty
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: four year olds in news has risen quite sharply. It's
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: up twelve percent to forty seven percent. But I fear
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: are they relying too heavily on TikTok for their news?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Are they only taking it in if it comes with
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: a two person formation dance?
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Well, look, I can I totally understand this survey. Yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: because I have two teenagers at home. I remember a
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: story going a few years back. We went across the
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: rotnest and it took the kids and we were watching
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the television because we didn't have you know, Netflix or
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: streaming or anything like that. And my son was I
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: don't know. He was under ten at the time, and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: he was watching some cartoons and an AD break came
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on and he'd never seen an AD break in his life.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: And he looked at me with this confused look as
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: if to say, what's happened? Where's my show? I said, mate,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: that's an AD break. Well, I said, don't worry, it'll
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: come back in a few minutes. Really, yet he had
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: no idea. My kids do not watch television. They never
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: read a newspaper. They get it all online. But see,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the important thing is the media companies you know that
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: do the news, whether it be newspapers, radio, TV. You
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: just got to move on to that platform so that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: they can see them.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Yes, and they have to a degree, but do they
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: use the same level of profession? How do I put this?
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Because I look at Facebook every day and you see
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: the new sites and they're very, very poor, shall I say,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: And you watch the ABC or something and it's better.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And yet their Facebook mode is like it's been written
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: by I don't know how to put it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: That's where all the trainees go, well, this is.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: This is my point. If this is where they're going,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: then that standard might shift that standard needs to really
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: come up.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I've got no problem with.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: People getting their news from these other places if as
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: long as it's called, as long as it's right. This
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: is the problem because you know, it ends up being
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: a case of Chinese whispers. And I was on Facebook,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: it must be true. And TV is hanging in there
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: as the main source of news, but it is followed
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: with just one percentage, you know, behind by Facebook, TikTok
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: and Instagram.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: But see now, so news organizations, whether you know, the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: ones that we've all grown up with, they just now
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: have to make sure that their content is on YouTube
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: because you know, YouTube is the biggest streaming service in
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the world's Netflix.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I so rarely go on YouTube.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Oh when you put it on your TV, it's it's fantastic.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: The quality is great. And if you want to watch
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: a clip from sixty minutes or nine News or seven
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: News or the ABC or it's there. You just pick,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: you just pick what you want to watch.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I think the reason why people
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: end up getting their news from Facebook is because it's
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: so easy. They're already SCROLLEDO. They passed by it, so
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that's fine.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Turning the pages in a newspaper. You know when they together,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you get past the Norman ad paper for ages, Harvey
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Normans always page one news.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I know that's it. Yeah, yeah, they lose me with
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: their first seven pages. As long as this is okay,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: as long as it's make sure it's the same level
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: of because if this is their first stop, make sure
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you've got your best people on those sites then, because
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: what we see is you know, I'm sorry, but it's rubbish.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: It's so bad.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: And work on your grammar too. When you don't work
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: on your grammar, whether it's in print or whether it's online.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Come on, guys, got to lift our game moving into
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the digital world
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: And proof freed please
