If not did they change their opinions because of personal experience of meeting Corbyn (!) or from some other source (maybe social media or friends/family?).

I am certain that the impact of the media on a change in perception from pro to anti-Corbyn over that period has to be much more than 1% of the explanation. Not all of it - but a major part.
Yes I am saying the media courted him in a different favorable light , than he has been in this election ( where he got exposed and found out ),

I was bought into how different he sounded , the soundbite of a will do a different politics , reading out peoples cry for help letters in PMQ's , “ for the many, not the few” plastered across the media , attending festivals , singing oh Jeremy Corbyn shown on TV , at the time it was favorable reporting , if it wasn't how would I and other know about his activities and reasoning ?????????

As I remember at the time there was a lot more bad media at the time of an anti May type joking about her running through hay fields, eating gone off jam , how many times was she going to present he withdrawal bill ,and the fact she was badly positioned as a remainer negotiating a brexit deal, not liked anywhere i her part Europe , Europe leaders snubbing her at events .

It does seem you only see one side of a story , it very much like the current Labour party everyone fault but but theirs and its always the media , success it about good policy ,correct leadership and organisation ,you cant win an election on woe is me
