If you are reading this article, then you are likely to be part of a minority of Australians who are highly interested in politics and political news. The Digital News Report: Australia 2024 tells us that around one third of Australians are very interested in politics.

The article from MSN discusses a survey by the University of Canberra's News and Media Research Centre, revealing that many Australians are dissatisfied with the current state of political reporting. The survey found that a significant portion of the public feels that political journalism often lacks depth, focusing too much on the "game" of politics rather than substantive policy issues. Key criticisms include the media's tendency to sensationalize, prioritize conflict over policy, and engage in "gotcha" journalism. Suggestions for improvement include journalists providing more context, focusing on policy impacts, and reducing the emphasis on political tactics. There's also a call for media outlets to foster a more constructive dialogue, increase transparency about their methods, and ensure a diversity of voices to better represent the public's interests.
