People mostly follow social events via television and internet news sites. In both cases, more than a third (35%) of respondents said they follow society-wide events in this way at least once a day, and around a quarter (26% for TV, 25% for news sites) also reported the option 'several times a week'. That's according to new survey data from CVVM.
In the case of television there is a relatively lower proportion of those who say they never watch national events on it, which was reported by 15%, while the analogous proportion for internet news servers was 20%. Just over a fifth (21%) of respondents follow society-wide events on social networks on a daily basis, another less than a fifth (18%) do so several times a week and around a tenth either once a week (9%) or less frequently (10%).
The survey showed a similar, though not significantly lower, proportion of daily followers in the case of radio, where just under a fifth (19%) of respondents said they did so. Just under a quarter (24%) follow society-wide events via radio several times a week, with a further quarter following society-wide events via radio once a week (13%) or less frequently (12%).

less frequently.
Thirty-six per cent of respondents do not use any of the surveyed sources to follow society-wide events on a daily basis. A tenth (10%) of people do not follow society-wide events more than once a week in any of the ways surveyed. Overall, frequency of viewing is significantly correlated with general interest in politics. The importance of television increases with age, but to a lesser extent also that of print and radio, while the correlation with age is reversed for social networks, internet blogs and discussion forums and internet news sites.
