Yesterday it was reported that the BBC is yet again the 'most popular' news site but here at Freer PR we're not ones to simply accept statistics as fact without looking into things ourselves so we thought who better to ask than you.
We know that the phrase 'most popular' when it comes to this sort of thing can be misleading as what it actually means is 'most viewed' and you don't have to like a site to view it. This is why we took the matter to Twitter and asked our lovely followers where they get their news.
From the responses we received it is clear that individuals engage with a variety of sites depending on the kind of news they are looking for. Matching up with the statistics, BBC news appears to be the 'most popular' when it comes to traditional 'straight-news'. For more light-hearted subjects and gossip Yahoo, MailOnline and Aol seem to be the destination of choice.
The general consensus though, was that all the important news and information about a variety of subjects can be found via Twitter. For many, including our Account Exec, news is found through the sharing of links on Twitter and is read on whichever site the link directs to.
Do you agree with our findings? Where do you get your news?
