This Standard Eurobarometer survey conducted in autumn 2011 (EB76) provides a fresh
in-depth insight into media use in the European Union (EU), following the Eurobarometer
survey conducted on this subject in autumn 2010 (EB74)1.
This survey also enables us to analyse the relationship of Europeans with the media and
with information concerning the European Union. Since autumn 2010, the context has
changed on three levels:
- European issues are highly topical on a regular basis, against the backdrop of the
economic crisis and the European Union’s intervention to help certain Member
States deal with its impact;
- the growing development of online versions of newspapers, magazines, radio and
television channels;
- the special attention paid to online social networks, whose influence in the world
of political information has unquestionably increased, for example in the context
of events such as the “Arab spring”.
