Report | Regional News Media 2023
University of Technology Sydney (UTS) recently released their second regional media report.
The UTS Centre for Media Transition (CMT) examines the flow of narratives between metro and regional news media on important policy discussions. The two policy areas examined by the CMT were the Murray-Darling Water Plan and the legislated alcohol bans on Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory – both policy areas which impact metro audiences.
UTS have also repeated their survey of the levels of coverage of regional issues in metro media outlets and examined regional media start-ups to enquire about the challenges and opportunities.
