The pie charts compare the proportions of Canadians and Australians who obtain news from five different sources: radio, television, online platforms, print, and unspecified sources. Overall, it is clear that television and online news are the most popular sources in both countries, while radio, print, and other options are significantly less commonly used.
Looking first at Canada, the majority of people get their news from television and online platforms, which together account for 76% of responses. In contrast, printed news is used by only 14% of the population. Smaller proportions rely on radio, which makes up 7%, while just 3% of Canadians do not specify their source of news.
In Australia, online platforms are the most popular source of news, accounting for 52% of responses. Television is the second most common source at 37%. The remaining categories, including print, radio, and unspecified sources, collectively represent a small minority of 11%.
Overall, while both countries rely heavily on television and online news, Australians show a stronger preference for online platforms, whereas Canadians rely slightly more on traditional media such as television.
