Abstract
People in Britain buy more newspapers than people anywhere else in the world — about 15 million national newspapers each morning and about 8½ million regional morning or evening papers. That means on average more than 1 newspaper each day in every household. We also spend many hours watching television or listening to radio at home, in cars, and sometimes at work. The audience figures for regional television news are about level with viewing of national network news, and numbers listening to local or regional radio news are not far short of those for national radio news. Much of our daily information, therefore, comes from regional or local sources.
