Our news consumption in the contemporary media environment is increasingly characterised by an ever-growing reliance on an array of multi-media platforms.
Social media apps such as Facebook, Instagram and TikTok have been for some time important sites from which people get their news. Further, private groups within such platforms are often a key point of news consumption for many individuals.
We want to know which of these sources you use the most to stay informed in the run up to the 2024 UK general election.
We would like to know where key conversations are happening, both within and away from the traditional media. Where on the internet do you find your main sources of news? Do you listen to podcasts? Do you use social media applications such as Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat?
If so, are you part of any private groups in which important discussions are happening and what sort of things are being shared? Do such conversations have an impact on your overall attitudes? Do you notice changing habits in your parents or among your children in the last few years?
Alternatively, perhaps you prefer to use a specific independent journalism organisation for your news? If this is the case, then which one do you use? Finally, where do your family members of varying ages access their news - are there cross-generational differences?
