Description

The Media Barometer has been conducted annually since 1979. Through 2018, the Media Barometer was conducted as a telephone-only survey. Since 2019, the results are based on answers collected via a combined web and telephone survey. Traditionally, the results referred to the Swedish population aged 9–79, but in 2020, the sample frame was expanded to ages 9–85.
