The pie charts compare the different ways people in Germany and Nigeria access news during a typical week.
It is clear that newspapers are the most widely used source of news in Germany, whereas television is by far the most popular choice in Nigeria. Germans also tend to rely on a wider range of sources, while Nigerians depend more heavily on television and radio.
Among Germans, a little under half obtain their news from newspapers, which represents the highest proportion among the sources shown. Television is the second most common source, accounting for around a third of the population. The proportions relying on the Internet and radio are relatively similar, at 11% and 10%, respectively. The remaining 4% obtain their news from other sources.
The figures for Nigeria present a rather different pattern. Almost two-thirds of the population rely on television, which is more than twice the proportion recorded in Germany. Radio is the second most common source, accounting for just over a fifth of the population. By comparison, newspapers are used by just over one in ten Nigerians. The Internet and friends or family are the least commonly used sources, each accounting for only 1%.
