The Pandemic News Experience Report

The research set out in this report details the findings of the project’s initial in-depth interviews and survey with UK news audiences. 

In-depth interviews were held with 59 members of the public, including 20 community leaders, between 15 February and 3 March 2021. The findings of these interviews then fed into the design of a national survey on the pandemic news experience. The report summarises the key trends from our preliminary analysis of 24 of the 59 interviews and key descriptive data from the survey.
