How do the French understand the challenges of confinement / the end of confinement? How much confidence do they place in messages from public authorities? We will present the results of wave 2 of our exclusive G7 Citizen Impact survey.

We invite you to discover the re-composition of the media space of French people in confinement thanks to exclusive data from TGI.
