Both charts depict data on the sources of information from which people from the UK received updates about both local and global affairs in 1987-1997, measured in percentage.
Overall, it can be noted that throughout the whole period of 10 years, radio was the least popular source of getting news, while television was the only one that showed growth, being a leader in world updates and narrowing the gap with newspapers in local ones.
The first graph shows that in 1987 television was used by approximately two-thirds (65%) of people as a tool to get acquainted with global affairs and remained stable even by the end of the decade, having a slight decrease of around 6% in the middle of 1989. A similar trend can be seen in the usage of newspapers and radio, as their rate didn’t demonstrate any significant changes and stood at 20 and 9, respectively, by 1997. In contrast, the second chart illustrated a consistent surge in using TV as a source of local news, almost doubling its rate from 19 to 37 in the years 1987-1997, while newspapers declined by 16%, showing their worst result throughout the whole period and finally taking a minor precedence over television.
