MOST USED ONLINE NEWS SOURCE
CNA's website shared the top spot with Mothership in terms of weekly use, while The Straits Times' website came in third at 41 per cent.
Mothership's weekly online reach of 46 per cent was two percentage points lower compared to last year and its brand trust score this year was 55 per cent, 19 percentage points behind CNA.
The report noted Mothership's press accreditation was suspended for six months in October last year after its second embargo breach in two years.
Online and social media continue to be the most common ways of accessing news in Singapore, while both TV and print have declined significantly over the last few years.
On social media apps for news, the report noted that while WhatsApp (34 per cent), Facebook (32 per cent), and YouTube (28 per cent) are the most used networks, Instagram (20 per cent), TikTok and Telegram (both 15 per cent) are the fastest growing channels for news.
GLOBAL NEWS TRENDS
The report added videos are becoming a more important source of online news, especially among younger users, with consumption mainly on online platforms rather than publisher websites.
It also noted that news use across online platforms is fragmenting. YouTube is used for news by almost 31 per cent of respondents each week, WhatsApp by around 21 per cent, while TikTok (13 per cent) overtook X (10 per cent) for the first time.
Report data showed TikTok grew by seven percentage points in the last year, while Facebook news use declined by a roughly similar percentage.
Overall audience concerns about fake news also went up by three percentage points to 59 per cent. Politics, followed by health information, and the Ukraine and Gaza wars engendered the most concern about misleading content.
In a first, this year's report asked users of specific online platforms how easy or difficult they found it to distinguish between trustworthy and untrustworthy content. About 27 per cent of TikTok users - the highest score of all the networks covered - said they struggled to detect trustworthy news.
In Singapore, a TikTok user was issued three correction directions under the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) in August last year for claims related to public housing, voting secrecy and Central Provident Fund (CPF) policies.
In February, Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) leader Chee Soon Juan was also issued a correction direction over a video he shared on social media, including TikTok, regarding public housing polices, with the report noting both incidents.
