Only 38 percent of #Indiannews consumers in English trust the news they read or watch, according to the #DigitalNewsReport 2021 by Oxford University’s #Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism.
The report, based on a survey conducted by the Reuters Institute in collaboration with the Asian College of Journalism, states that 82 percent of Indian news consumers in English rely on online media and 73 percent use smartphones to get news.
To analyse the report’s findings and their significance for the Indian news industry, Newslaundry and Reuters Institute organised a panel discussion with Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, director of the #Reuters Institute, Shashi Kumar, journalist and media entrepreneur, Supriya Sharma, executive editor of Scroll, and Dhanya Rajendran, editor-in-chief of the News Minute. The discussion was moderated by Manisha Pande, executive editor of Newslaundry.
