Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Digital News Report: Australia 2016, the second annual survey of news consumption in Australia, builds on last year's debut to provide a clearer picture than ever before of how news is currently being consumed both within Australia and globally, with a particular focus on digital news consumption and pathways to accessing the news. The report is part of a global survey encompassing 25 other countries: Austria, Belgium, urban Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, urban Turkey, the UK, and the USA. Key Findings: Terrestrial TV (53.9%) and social media (52.2%) were reported as the most popular source of news in the week prior to the survey. But when asked for one main source of news, 37.6% replied TV; 27.4% replied online news; 18.5% replied social network services / blogs. Radio news programs (39.6%), printed newspapers (35.4%) and websites of newspapers (32.5%) were also widely used as sources of news. Traditional media news consumption – TV, print and radio – is regarded as the main source (52.3%) and this is reflected to some extent in online news consumption, where the top source of news among online media was through websites or apps of newspapers (21.7%). The Digital News Report: Australia 2016 is a collaboration between the News & Media Research Centre at the University of Canberra and the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
