TV may still be the main news provider for consumers across the world, but issues of trust and credibility are undermining the institutional role of traditional media outlets.

Can readers’ loyalty save struggling media outlets? And how can news platforms gain younger consumers?
Whether commuting on the train, running in the park or sitting at your desk, Mintel’s podcast series ‘Little Conversation’ brings you fresh ideas, bold innovation and data-driven intelligence.
