Australian News Data Project

 

The Australian News Data Project (ANDP) was a body of work designed to assess media diversity and plurality.

Data was collected about changes to news production, the coverage areas of news outlets, the ownership structures of news businesses, peak bodies in the news sector, and through sampling, the content of news publications. The project was the baseline data used by the news industry, academics and government in order to understand the state of public interest journalism in Australia.

The ANDP launched publicly in April 2020, with data beginning from 1 January 2019. It ceased at 31 December 2024. Monthly and quarterly reports remain available on PIJI’s website.

For any questions about the ANDP, please contact lead researcher Gary Dickson.
