"Television has dominated people's news habits since the '60s, and it still commands really high trust. But we're witnessing a generational shift to online news, which is often seen as less reliable - together with growing fears about misinformation and deepfake content. Ofcom wants to secure high-quality news for the next generation, so we're kicking off a review of the public service media that help underpin the U.K.'s democracy and public debate."
"This is a significant shift. Not only has TV dominated news for more than 60 years, but as online platforms replace broadcasters and newspapers, the news they carry comes from a much wider set of sources. That's both a blessing for having more viewpoints and a curse for being significantly harder to vet for accuracy - and consumers are concerned that this will only get worse with the growth of AI."
