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.

The dataset consists of response data from the Media Barometer 2022 in the form of an SPSS data file with variable and value labels.
