Audience Engagement

This report explores the underlying reasons for low trust in the news media and social media across nine countries (United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Australia, France, and Greece).

This RISJ factsheet presents an analysis of a sample of 4.26 million news-related tweets from a larger dataset of 28 million tweets collected during the 2017 UK General Election.

The authors explain how news audience attention took shape on Twitter in the weeks ahead of the polling day and up to the day after this major political event in Europe.

In this report, we analyse how public service media organisations across six European countries are developing new projects and products to deliver digital news.

The BBC, Mail Online and the Guardian account for the majority of the time spent reading news on computers in the UK, according to this study that tracked news consumption from 3400 users over a month.

Less than half of the users surveyed could remember the name of the news brand for a particular story when coming from search engines or social media.
