I get all my news online. I almost never watch TV news unless it’s something ongoing like the storming of the Capitol. I listen to R4 news if I’m driving on a long trip.
Our TV hasn’t even been switched on since the weekend of the Jubilee.
I have BBC news on my phone, and watch the BBC news at 6pm followed by the local news at 6.30. But I often watch other news channels as well, being a news freak. It started when I was a child in WW2 , listening to the crackling static on our large old radio and being fascinated by the news. Good or bad, the BBC means something to me , being in the background of my life always.
Find channel5 most 'relatable/unbiased' these days. Having said that, I'm not watching much news at all any more. Much prefer the newspaper reviews on BBC news channel at 2230 and 2330.
Radio 4 News at 6am, or the R4 5.30am news briefing on BBCSounds because I can listen to it any time. That's it. World Service news gives a broader view.
Those this is two different questions. 1) The channel I trust most on reporting issues is Channel 4.
2)I think I am probably about the same level of interest as in my 30s onwards. maybe not in my twenties. There did seem to be more political activism among students in the seventies though, than there is today. More student demonstrations against the Vietnam war, as an example, or against nuclear weapons. So not necessarily an age thing.
Which Channel do you trust most at reporting issues? Used to tell my late Mom not to watch the news as she was always worried about the 'state of the world..' Think as you get older you are more concerned as I can remember in my 20s in the 70s ..was not very interested..so wondering if its an age thing?
