Since its inception in 1996, Sky News Australia has been a dominant force in the country’s media and publishing landscape, offering a blend of news coverage and opinion-based programs. Being a 24×7 news channel, it boasts a loyal viewer base and strong social media presence, with the channel’s evening show line-ups regularly reaching higher ratings, ultimately raising its popularity.
It should be known that Sky News Australia’s influence extends beyond television ratings, as the channel’s strong conservative voice has undoubtedly shaped Australia’s political discourse. This is because it has set the agenda for many national debates and provided a platform for right-wing ideas, which in turn attracted much-needed criticism for being ‘content biased’. Additionally, the channel’s focus on opinionated shows over unadulterated news reporting has raised concerns about the spread of misinformation.
