Russian TV viewers “didn’t notice” Navalny’s poisoning, and Internet readers didn’t notice the coronavirus vaccine
The number of Russians who get information from television news has decreased by a quarter over 10 years - from 94% in 2009 to 69% this year.
This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the Levada Center, which is recognized as a foreign agent in Russia, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
At the same time, the number of people receiving information from social networks increased from 6 to 38%, from online publications - from 9 to 37%. In addition, 6% of Russians began to read Telegram channels.
At the same time, 48% of Russians trust television, 24% trust social networks, and 23% trust the Internet.
It is noteworthy that the news agenda of all sources is approximately the same. All respondents, even those who do not read the media at all, but get information from friends, called the protests in Belarus the most important event in recent months.
The television audience paid less attention (but did pay attention) to the protests in Khabarovsk and did not attach any importance to the poisoning of blogger Alexei Navalny. And the Internet audience ignored the creation of a coronavirus vaccine in Russia.
