To Brexit or not to Brexit? That is the question (infographic)
The “Brexit”, the potential exit of the UK from the European Union (EU), is not only making headlines in the British press but in the German media, as well. Since beginning of this year until end of February, around 13,600 articles were published in the German printed and online media about this issue. This is more than six times the amount of articles compared to the previous seven weeks following a newspaper survey which showed for the first time that a majority of the British people would vote in favour of an exit. Focus of the coverage were the EU crisis summit on February 18/19, concessions of the EU towards the UK and the announcement of a merger between the stock exchanges of London and Frankfurt, the latter irrelevant of a Brexit. These are results of an analysis by Gerle Financial Communications, a UK based PR consultancy, specialized on financial services companies.
