News consumption behavior ahead of the general election in the UK 2017
This statistic shows the results of a survey on the news consumption behavior of UK adults prior to the general election in 2017. The survey found that 39 percent of respondents planned to visit national newspaper websites at least twice as often as normal in order to be well informed prior to the election, while 46 percent stated that they had become more suspicious of news reported on social media after the so-called 'fake news' affairs surrounding Brexit and the recent U.S. presidential election.
