The figure has dropped by 6 percentage points over the same period. The level of confidence in news sites, blog messages in social media have gone down by 3 percentage points. It’s possible Russians have got tired of politically motivated news interpretation (both on federal television channels and in online media). Excessively aggressive gesturing might make people doubt of the media market key players being true and sincere.
The study was conducted in January 2013 and 2014 based on all-Russia representative random route sample in adults (18+) using face-to-face interview method in place of residence. Altogether 1500 respondents in 8 federal districts, 100 settlements have been interviewed. The sample error makes up 2,5%.
