The pie charts illustrate a comparison of the share for five distinct options used to get into news in Canada and Austraulia.
Looking from an overall perspective, there was a similar trend in news consumption, in which both countries primarily relied on online sources for obtaining news, with Australia favoring these sources somewhat compared to Canada. Additionally, radio emerged as the least preferred medium for news in both nations.
As can be seen, 76% of Canadians got their news via online sources and TV, which accounted for 36% and 40%, respectively. Conversely, print maintained a low shares of 14%, which doubled the figure of radio. Notably, a minuscule 3% of the unknown constituted the means of accessing news.
On the other hand, in Australia, online media led the news access landscape with 52%, transcending Canadian tendencies. Moreover, the ratio of television accounted for 37%, which served as the second most favored approach. 7% and 2% were the corresponding proportions for print and radio, while a marginal 2% was unknown.
