BIG FOUR- 4/4 headlining with Cummings Saga
TV BASED NEWS- Mixed: Cummings Saga & “local lockdown”
FREE LONDON PAPERS- 2/2 Cummings Saga
TABLOIDS- Mixed: “local lockdown”
NOT IMPORTANT
- Economic fallout from the implementation and contuation of the lockdown.
- Care home deaths scandal.
The media has made the collective decision to focus on the Cummings Saga as THE most important issue for the British public. A government advisor that left his home during the lockdown (with questionable reasons) is signularly more important than the coming economic fallout from implementing and continuation of the lockdown.
Interestingly coverage of the care home scandal has fallen as “more important” stories must take up the headlines.
