Respondents were news users from each market, with the sample sizes (excluding ‘Don’t Know’) as follows: All markets: 86,027, Norway: 1,901, UK: 1,708, Germany: 1,684, USA: 1,785, Japan: 1,598, India: 1,882, Mexico: 1,807, Philippines: 1,874.Â
A global study revealed that the average share of people who prefer to listen to news was just 14 percent, with the vast majority preferring to consume news via reading. However, Mexican and Indian news audiences were substantially more likely to favor audio news than consumers from other selected countries. Meanwhile, Norwegian consumers were the most engaged with written news, and audiences in the Philippines were most likely to say they prefer watching news.
