INTRODUCTION Media organisations have been pivotal in driving the shift towards personalised news and information experiences for mobile. It is now possible for news stories and articles to be surfaced and recommended to individuals based on their stated preferences, previous activity or reading history. Google Now and Zite are high profile examples of these types of services. In this landscape of the personalised experience, it’s common for location to be a key content discovery and organising principle. People can see what’s happening close to their GPS location, explore the news around them via a map, or filter content according to proximity to a certain place. These approaches are already proving their usefulness, yet they are still relatively new and there are gaps in our collective knowledge about what rates as location-relevant content, and how it might be surfaced for a particular user at a particular time. For example, does a story increase in relevance when it’s closer to home? How do people engage with news and information from locations other than where a person is located right now? If people have relationships with many places, is there some way to accommodate that? How does location-relevance interplay with other factors of relevance such as topic or time? Are there interest topics for which location makes a difference to people’s understanding and level of engagement with stories? How does location-relevance interplay with other factors of relevance such as topic or time? To add another layer of complexity, there is a further question: are there sufficient quality digital stories produced to enable content discovery via location-match alone? Perhaps in the cities there is enough, but regionally-based news and information seekers have a harder time because the contraction of media towards state capitals means that the volume of locally-specific stories has reduced. So how does this impact news and information flows within regional communities? This report contains some answers to those questions by providing insight into people’s perspectives of news, place and relevance. It also describes some implications of these discoveries for media service providers who create and distribute news and information.

SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS People’s motivations for seeking news. Understanding the reasons why people seek out news and information is key to ensuring relevance of content. News helps me make conversation with other people, and I want to lighten my mood are two examples of twelve motivation statements that were generated from this research. These statements are a useful reference for those who wish to develop a content Hume Dam strategy built around audience motivations. Photo (cc) Alex Blackburn People’s news-seeking habits and values.

    REPORT MAPPING MEDIA HOUSES FOR SAY IT LOUD RADIO DRAMA Produced By: Tariro Chikumbirike [email protected] 1 1. Introduction Early Unintended Pregnancy (EUP) continues to be a major public health concern in the Sub- Saharan region, with adolescent girls experiencing the highest rates of pregnancy in the world (UNESCO 2018). The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the situation, with the specific country imposed lockdowns significantly contributing to an increase in EUP as young people has to spend most of their time not in school. According to UNESCO, in the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) region, for many adolescent girls, sex, marriage, and pregnancy are not voluntary or consensual, and many lack access to information to make informed decisions. In 2013, the adolescent fertility rate in the ESA region was reportedly two times higher than the world average at 108.2 live births per 1,000 girls (UNFPA, 2016). Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data compiled in 2012 revealed that by age 17, at least one in five young women in six countries in the ESA region had started childbearing. A high proportion of pregnancies among adolescent girls, aged 15 to 19 years, are unintended, ranging from 39 per cent in Tanzania to 59 per cent in Kenya. One of the greatest health challenges associated with adolescent pregnancy is unsafe abortion with the consequences of severe complications (UNESCO). EUP impact is mainly felt by low and middle-income girls living in rural areas and with low levels of education. Adolescents in poor rural areas, with no education, have birth rates almost three times those observed in urban areas, with a secondary or higher education.
