The pie charts illustrate the main sources from which Germans and Nigerians obtain news in a typical week.
Overall, television is the most popular source of news in both countries, although it is far more dominant in Nigeria than in Germany. In contrast, Germans rely more heavily on newspapers and the internet, while Nigerians make greater use of radio.
In Germany, newspapers are the primary source of news, accounting for 45% of first choices. Television follows at 30%, while the internet represents 11%. Radio is used by 8% of people, and the remaining 6% obtain news from other sources.
By comparison, television overwhelmingly dominates news access in Nigeria, at 63%. Radio is the second most common source, used by 22% of Nigerians, whereas newspapers account for only 13%. The internet is used by a very small proportion, at just 1%, and an equally small percentage rely on friends and family.
In summary, while Germans use a more balanced mix of news sources, Nigerians depend largely on television and radio for their news.
