Press Gazette has been tracking the coverage of Europe in all of Britain’s national newspapers, and has discovered that more of us read a publication that backs Leave than read one that backs Remain. The Brexitometer counts front-page stories favouring either Leave, Remain or neither and then totals the circulation of the newspapers involved.
At a glance, you can see how many readers are getting each type of endorsement.
