charities in the post-COVID world? (Click
for Details) (UK) Social media could offer
charities a way to target those typically least likely to donate. While many
non-essential shops and services begin to reopen, charities are continuing to
struggle. New rules for keeping staff and customers safe mean charity shop
donations have been become more difficult to process, not to mention new
rules for social distancing that charity shops will need to implement.
COVID-19 has also robbed charities of many of its traditional fundraisers
such as the London Marathon, and other summer events are sure to suffer as
well. (YouGov) August 21, 2020 4.6 Society » Media/ New Media |

for public health and prosperity in the UK. But it has also had a dramatic
impact on the digital, media, and technology sector. A new YouGov webinar
examined this impact in some detail. Hosted by Russell Feldman – our head of
Digital, Media, and Technology – the session focused on a new study about the
pandemic’s impact on television, SVOD, broadband, music, communication, and
other services used within the home: the first of its kind. The study looked
at the impact of these services during the heart of lockdown in April and
then measured how usage of these changed once restrictions started to lift in
July. (YouGov) August 21, 2020 4.6 Society » Media/ New Media |

they don’t understand the technology. This is hardly surprising, given that
many Brits struggle with common economic terms that have been around for
centuries. (YouGov) August

652-653-17 Key takeaways on Americans’
views of and experiences with dating and relationships (Click for Details) (USA) Dating has always come with challenges. But the
advent of dating apps and other new technologies – as well as the #MeToo
movement – presents a new set of norms and expectations for American singles
looking for casual or committed relationships, according to a recent Pew
Research Center survey. Some 15% of U.S. adults say they are single and
looking for a committed relationship or casual dates. Among them, most say
they are dissatisfied with their dating lives, according to the survey, which
was conducted in October 2019 – before the coronavirus pandemic shook up the
dating scene. Here are some additional key findings from the study. (PEW) August 20, 2020 4.2

there’s a 14-point gap between the shares of White and Black adults who say
they have a great deal of confidence in scientists (41% vs. 27%). And while

scientists, Black adults are about twice as likely as White adults to say
they have not too much or no confidence in scientists to act in the public
interest (21% vs. 11%). U.S. Hispanics rate scientists about the same as
White adults do, expressing more confidence in them than Black adults do. (PEW) August 28, 2020 4.3 Society » Ethnicity |

652-653-21 More in U.S. Believe Protest Actions Can Aid Black Adults (Click for
Details) (USA) U.S. adults are more likely today than three
decades ago to view several forms of protest as potentially helpful for
improving the situation of Black Americans. Since Gallup last polled on this
subject in 1988, there have been meaningful increases in the percentages of
Americans saying that nonviolent protest, violent protest and economic
boycotts, in particular, can help. Opinions on the effectiveness of legal
action are little changed. Americans are still most likely to see nonviolent
protest and legal action as being helpful, and least likely to say violent
protest is. (Gallup USA) August 26, 2020 4.3

77% of Italians think the US is
a racist country
As might be
expected, especially in this period, according to Italians the most racist country in the world is the United
States of America . 77% of respondents think the US is a
racist country. The beautiful country, in the eyes of its own
inhabitants, ends up in the top six most racist countries, just behind
Germany, Focusing on
Italy and the different types of discrimination present on the national
territory, racism (together with the prejudices related to the Italian
regions of origin) is the second most widespread form of
discrimination. The 27% of
Italians believe that in our country there are many forms of discrimination or bias-related sexual
all'orientamente , since grows to 74% if we include those who
think that there are "enough" discrimination in this area. However,
racism and intolerance towards the LGBT world are not the only forms of
intolerance identified by the interviewees. About one in five people say
that discrimination related to religious
orientation and social
class are also very present . It is
interesting to note that only
16% think that gender discrimination is very present in Italy (since
it reaches 21% among women, not falling within the first three types of
intolerance according to the opinion of the female gender). Young people , under 25, turn out to
be much more sensitive to all types of
discrimination , showing significantly higher values
in almost all areas, in particular on sexual orientation (very
present in Italy according to 47% of them against an average national 27%), racism (44% vs. 25%), the region of origin
(35% vs. 23%) and
religious orientation (36% vs. 20%). (YouGov) August 26,
