France Media Wave June 2021

How to read this report

• Where does the French public get their news and information from? What are their key ‘touchpoints’ when it comes to global development issues? • The first half of this deck reports the topline findings from our bespoke media survey on the French public’s media consumption, attitudes and practices. It reports data in the aggregate and independent of attitudes or engagement with global poverty. • The second half of the deck looks at three key audiences for development organisations – core supporters, neighboring issue non-supporters, centre-right on the fencers – and profiles their top media sources, top brands and charities, interests, who they follow, and their socio-demographic profile. These profiles are intended to help organisations understand and find audiences of interest.
