Who are UK journalists? How do they work? What do they think? And how has all this changed in the last decade? My new report answers these questions.

Our new study has found that readers find traditionally-crafted news articles more comprehensible than articles produced with automation. Deficiencies readers perceive in the automated articles’ handling of numbers and word choice partly explain why they were harder to understand.

With the vast array of options of what to watch online, have you ever wondered why you picked that new comedy or that old documentary? Would you have chosen to watch them if they were on terrestrial TV? How much were you nudged to choose them by subtle prompts from the online streaming platforms?
