Advocating for a sustainable future for public interest journalism

The Australian News Data Project

PIJI’s Australian News Data Project (ANDP) was a body of work designed to assess media diversity and plurality. Some ANDP projects were static snapshots and others were cumulative by design. From 2020 to 2024, PIJI constantly added new data to enrich our understanding of the health of Australia’s public interest journalism.

Data mapping visualisations

PIJI maintained two maps visualising the data collated in the Australian News Index. The Tracking Changes shows the production and availability of news in Australia as it changed over time. The The Local News Producers Maps show print, digital and broadcast (radio and television) news producers.

The Australian News Index

The ANI was a searchable database of state/territory, national and non-geographic news producers. The ANI supplied the data for the ANMP visualisations and was also intended to incorporate the Australian News Sampling Project data in due course.

The Australian News Sampling Project

The ANSP assessed news output by specific geographic location/s to understand the local character and quantity of public interest journalism production and produces each as a case study. It was designed to examine and contrast the volume and frequency of locally relevant news content at an individual community level.

Monthly & Quarterly Reports

Each month, PIJI released a narrative report detailing changes made in the database, as well as a data sheet as it stood at the end of the month. The narrative report discussed the evidence for changes that were made and how the project design influenced them. PIJI also released a quarterly analysis of broader trends observed across the landscape.
