Facebook and the News Media: How Australians Engage with News and Misinformation Online is a timely research report exploring the evolving relationship between Australian news organisations, social media (Facebook) and online audiences. Almost 20 years after Facebook was launched internationally in 2006, following its inception at Harvard University in 2004, this study analyses more than three million posts from 25 Australian news publishers to gain insights into how news content is distributed, how audiences engage with news topics, and the nature of misinformation and disinformation spread— focusing on case studies related to health, election integrity, and extreme weather events.
