Social Media – UK Landscape

Blogger Martin Belam has been looking into UK newspapers and how they’re using social bookmarking options.

Part One of his research focuses on ten regional news websites and the range of share options they provide and Part Two looks at an additional ten and features a cool results table.



He also compares the contextual help provided by newspapers in relation to the social media share buttons which appear at the end of articles and reveals some interesting findings.

The study forms part of a series investigating the online offerings of regional newspapers in the UK, with previous posts comparing RSS feed services and video content.

If you want to know more about UK news sites and social bookmarking, take a look at this post and slideshow which were featured on the JP Digital Digest blog earlier this month.
