LONDON, April 28, 2020('Matchbox'), the technology-driven global insights partner, are working with BBC Global News to uncover implicit, emotional reactions to on-going news coverage of Covid-19.
Using BBC Global Minds, the global insights panel community of BBC viewers, BBC Global News are regularly tracking changing reactions to news coverage. Using Maru/Matchbox's proprietary Implicit Association Testing (IAT) System 1 tool, results are uncovering what subject areas are emotionally most important to audiences.

By capturing audience's implicit, emotional reactions to news coverage, BBC Global News can ensure their platforms remain relevant and a source of trusted information on the topics that matter most during this time of crisis".
