LAUNCH EVENT - Next Gen News report
We are delighted to announce our latest report, Next Gen News, which explores the behaviours and news preferences of 18 to 25-year-olds and the extent to which news producers meet their expectations and needs. Join us for an exclusive report launch broadcast where we will host a panel of industry experts to discuss what makes young consumers different and how news producers can better serve their needs.
We'll dive deeper into the key learnings from this research and explore how publishers can practically use the findings to improve their own efforts to reach younger readers. Secure your spot and be one of the first to receive a copy of the report.
We'll be hosting two broadcasts to reach a wider audience and share these learnings globally.
