After joining The New York Times in 2016, Malachy Browne helped build a visual investigations team that turned open-source reporting from a niche verification method into a major form of investigative journalism. Now a senior producer and enterprise director of the visual investigations team, he reflects on the field’s evolution, the challenges of artificial intelligence, and the importance of preserving an accurate historical record in a conversation with our contributor Maurice Oniango. "We’re no longer simply delivering a newspaper to someone’s doorstep. We have to produce video, graphics, and content for multiple platforms and audiences. At the same time, this is an enormous opportunity because digital platforms allow us to reach massive audiences," says Browne. https://lnkd.in/eHpFaStn

What do audiences think of public servcie media? Public service broadcasters often play a very prominent role in countries' news ecosystems. They frequently have the biggest audiences and are among the most trusted news providers. They also frequently find themselves the subject of polarised political debates, particularly around their funding models, their editorial lines and their perception as competitors to commercial news organisations. In this context, a chapter of our Digital News Report 2026 explores attitudes towards the societal impact of news from public service media. In the final episode of our Digital News Report 2026 mini series, author of the chapter Jim Egan, speaks with our director Mitali Mukherjee about how these perceptions vary across the world, how they correlate with trust, engagement and political leaning, and what people say are the positive or negative aspects of public service news in their countries. 📱 Read the chapter in full https://lnkd.in/dkzVdD8p 🇪🇸 Léelo en español https://lnkd.in/eyrM9giu 🎧Listen to our podcast episode with Jim https://lnkd.in/eqk6YAWu Swipe below for 3 insights on this

Online news videos are playing an increasingly important role in how news is produced and consumed. Although this format is prevalent around the world, it is very common in some Global South countries where there are younger populations and cheap mobile data. When we look at specific platforms, consuming online news video on Instagram and TikTok is more popular among young people, while use of YouTube for this purpose is fairly equal across age groups. And while online news video use has increased across third-party social and video networks, there has been a decline in the proportion of people watching online news video on news websites and apps themselves. Senior Research Associate Nic Newman explains more. Read the chapter from our Digital News Report 2026: https://lnkd.in/dw5-qAYc
