  BBC Coverage Of The EU

  MORI's work for the BBC shows that - in a majority of cases - knowledge and understanding of the EU is very low. This severely limits people's ability to make a judgement on the impartiality of the BBC's coverage. Lack of understanding tends to translate into low interest and limited consumption. This in turn severely limits the majority's ability to compare the relative qualities of the BBC's EU coverage across its three platforms (television, radio and online), or to judge the BBC's coverage against that of other broadcasters.
