ThinkNewsBrands General Manager Vanessa Lyons said: “With major national and international news events dominating the headlines in the first three months of this year, including the war in Ukraine, the devastating floods and the Federal Election, it’s little surprise news readership is up for this period in line with the previous one. News continues to solidify the important role it plays in the lives of Australians.”
