Remember how the left sneered when GB News was first announced, ridiculing the station on launch? Well, the Reuters Institute Digital News Report has just concluded GB News has risen to become the UK’s fourth biggest news media outlet on TV and radio. That ranks above liberal media dinosaurs Channel Four News, Channel Five News and CNN, oops…
Interestingly, the People’s Channel was found to be a more trusted source than both the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror newspaper. Commenting on the report, Mick Booker, GB News’ Editorial Director, said: “This report is a must read for anyone interested in how the consumption of news is changing across the globe… As Reuters’ report lays bare, our unstoppable growth is continuing, and soaring numbers of people are turning to the People’s Channel because they value the fearless journalism our team relentlessly provides.”
In a sign of what is to come, the report also found social media is the main news source in major markets like the US and Australia. Coming to the UK very soon, watch this space…
Paula Barker, Liverpool Wavertree MP backing Andy Burnham, told Times Radio there wouldn’t be trouble from the markets under Burnham:
“The markets will have to fall in line.”
