Diverse news formats are available to the audience, both in traditional media and on digital media platforms. News is available at any time on the Internet and teletext. Public service radio newscasts are updated every hour of the day. Digital news is updated continuously, and a wide range of news formats are also offered on mobile devices. Traditional news reporting is supplemented by news podcasts, video play formats, and social media news feeds. News also appears in weekly news magazines and freesheets. Radio and television produce daily news follow-up programmes and important news events are often covered live on radio, or on digital platforms.
Journalistic work is increasingly influenced by the variety of publishing platforms, and journalists on regional and local levels normally produce news material for different formats when reporting on current events.
