Details
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) commissioned Ipsos UK to research public use of and attitudes towards BBC News. The research aims to provide insights into the BBC’s role, value and performance within the broader UK news landscape.
This mixed-method research project combined an evidence review, a quantitative survey, qualitative focus groups and one-to-one interviews. These findings sit alongside broader analysis, as well as stakeholder evidence and the findings of the public consultation, to help inform the government’s review of the BBC’s Royal Charter.
