How inevitable is the overall audience migration from traditional to digital platforms? How quickly will it happen? What is the future for news on TV, radio and in the newspapers? Jamie Angus felt that TV and radio audiences have been enormously resilient. He discussed why that is, why it’s a challenge for building the future digital audience and what that means for news providers.
