The full report of the Standard Eurobarometer 94 survey consists of multiple volumes. The first volume presents the results of general questions about the state of public opinion in the European Union. Four other volumes present Europeans’ opinions about the following topics: the European Union’s priorities; European citizenship; media use in the European Union and the European Union and the coronavirus pandemic. This volume analyses European citizens’ media use, a topic which is addressed through the following issues: - Media use and trust in the media: which media are used most by European citizens? Do Europeans trust the media and the information they provide? - The level of information about European matters: do Europeans feel well informed about European issues? Do they feel that citizens in their country are well-informed about these issues? - Information sources for political matters and the European Union: what are the main information sources used by Europeans when it comes to European political matters, and when searching for information about the European Union? Do Europeans believe that the European Union is treated in an objective manner by their national media? - Opinion about pluralism and the independence of national media: do European citizens think that European media provide a plurality of views and opinions? Are these media subject to political and commercial pressures? - Europeans and fake news: are European Union citizens often faced with fake news or news that misrepresents reality? Are they able to identify it? Do they consider it a problem in their country and for democracy in general? | en_US |
