Learn how research that has grown from qualitative roots has led to a digital transformation and revolutionized the way we do journalism at the BBC. The challenge we faced was to find out why people click on some pieces of content and not others, to unpack the term "relevance" for people and to truly understand the role that digital news content plays in their lives- but the real challenge was in embedding results into the newsroom; converting insights into something that lives and breathes in the fabric of the organization, every day.
There are fascinating differences between emerging economies and developed ones in how people consume news – and for that matter the role news plays in their lives. Understanding these differences will be critical to news organisations in a world where news has become global, and the biggest growth is coming from emerging economies. In quite possibly the biggest such survey of its kind, looking purely at news consumption behaviour, we spoke to over 12,000 people from 10 different countries. We will give you a glimpse into the outlook of 16-34 year olds on the world, the platforms and technologies they use, the role news plays in their lives and the implications for the BBC and other global organisations.
