If you are reading this article, then you are likely to be part of a minority of Australians who are highly interested in politics and political news.
The Digital News Report: Australia 2024 tells us that around one third of Australians are very interested in politics. They are more likely to be heavy news consumers who are willing to pay for it, and have higher trust in it.
In contrast, the opposite is true for most Australians who have moderate to low interest in politics. They are less interested in news about it, and are more likely to actively avoid it.
