TV still the source of information for Poles - poll
21:52
Television continues to remain the main source for information for most of the Poles, CBOS survey revealed. As many as 64 percent of respondents look for information in TV. Internet is the second most common news source (21 percent), followed by radio (8 percent) and press (4 percent). TV is the most popular news source among the oldest (83 percent of over 65-year-olds, and 78 percent aged 55-64) and the least educated (76 percent with elementary education).
Viewers watch news programs in TVN and TVN 24 (71 percent), and on the state-run TVP channels (69 percent), the other private broadcaster Polsat came in third (66 percent). What's interesting, despite its continuous dominance, less people trust TV news programs than in 2012, when last such poll was conducted. The number of people that think news programs in TVP channels are unreliable has grown by 20 percent, while distrust in TVN news coverage increased by 7 percent. In Polsat's case that figure increased by 4 percent.
