Understanding changes to the way that we consume culture at home during COVID-19: Week two of the six-week study
Republished by ECBN from: PEC
The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 and the lockdown has changed the way in which we experience cultural content. Movement restrictions leading to more time in the home, the mental wellbeing consequences of social distancing and the huge economic uncertainties, are all disrupting how the public accesses digital content in the coming weeks and months, and very likely in the long term.To meet this need, the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) has partnered with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) and research agency AudienceNet, to follow 1,000 consumers over six weeks (9th April to 24th May 2020), aged 16+ and representative of the UK population.
The main focus of the survey is on five content categories: Music, Film, TV, Video Games and E-publishing, but it also covers a range of non-traditional digital activities that consumers seem to be embracing during the COVID-19 crisis, such as watching filmed performances of theatre, concerts and dance shows and looking at art, paintings and photographs online. For the moment, results for the first two weeks are available.
