Venäjä/Yleisö ei juuri luota mediaan

"Some 41 percent of Russians trust federal mass media (57 among Moscow and St. Petersburg citizens). At the same time 27 percent of respondents do not trust any source of information, the poll held by the All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VCIOM) has shown."

"Around 15 percent of Russians have confidence in local mass media (21 percent in major cities), and only 7 percent trust in regional mass media. At that, confidence in local and regional mass media does not depend on respondents' welfare, while the confidence in federal mass media is observed in better-off people."

"Television is enjoying the highest demand as a source of information for most Russians, with 76 percent of respondents getting information from federal TV channels, 32 percent from regional channels, 28 percent - from local channels."

"Federal radio and the press are in about the same demand (27 and 25 percent respectively). As for local mass media, newspapers are more popular than radio (23 and 12 percent respectively). Every tenth Russian prefers the Internet as a source of information."
