16th June 2026 Can public demand for impartial news survive platforms and polarisation?

报告摘要

Impartiality is a core commitment for parts of the news media, including both public service media such as the BBC and some private publishers such as Reuters News. But many other news media, legacy or new, operate with a much more explicit, opinionated, and sometimes openly partisan editorial line. This has long been the norm in, for example, many European newspapers and much of US cable television and talk radio.
