      From the article, it seems their target is:

      “According to Aaron Kotarek, Oahu Publications’ senior vice president of audience and operations, the newscast is aimed at a younger audience in the age 16 to 34 demographic.

      “They’re looking for quick-hitting snippets, like a broadcast, like news and advertising information on platforms such as X, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram.””

      “We’re, to my knowledge, one of the first publishing companies in the United States to actually execute a live news broadcast utilizing avatars solely. And that’s exciting.” Kotarek said the content in the newscast is still coming from the paper’s real reporters.
