Access to research from the "Environmental Assessment" in Report 1, 2021
Dear Australian Communications and Media Authority,
The June 2021 report "A report to government on the adequacy of digital platforms’ disinformation and news quality measures" references two pieces of research in its "Environmental Assessment":
1. "...desktop research, commissioned quantitative and qualitative research from the
University of Canberra’s News and Media Research Centre (N&MRC);
2. "...network analysis project from creative agency and social media consultancy We Are Social."
Could I kindly request access to both of these research documents.
Kind regards,
Andrew
