Speaking at today’s Future of Public Interest Journalism Senate Inquiry, Tory Maguire said while new digital players can contribute to more diverse news coverage, there is still a large number of Australians who consume their news through TV and radio which are more traditional in what they cover.

I never watch the news on TV. By following Huffpost on Facebook the news is delivered to my Facebook timeline in a timely manner. I also happen to feel that this way gives me access to a more diverse range of current affairs.
