The stand-out finding of the survey is that news should be ACCURATE, FRESH & FREE. This is something that transcends borders and makes up the basic requirements for successful news consumption across the globe.

News consumption methods are also changing with more traditional media taking a back seat to personal, portable and connected devices. This instant accessibility is also leading to more time being spent overall on news intake which is fueling a demand for local, national and international news.

As more and more news becomes freely available and accessible, it in turn increases the demand as readers seek to increase their knowledge and understanding of the topics that matter to them to a higher level.

Trends and consumption varies in different ways across different regions, but overall the picture is clear – the world is becoming a smaller place and mobile news applications are helping to give people the instant knowledge they crave and desire to get a fast understanding of what is important in their lives.
