Description
The first Media Barometer was conducted in 1979 and since then the survey has been carried out annually. The purpose is to explore how the Swedish population is using different media during an average day. In 1994 the respondents were asked about their usage of different media equipment such as television, text-television, radio, video recorder, CD-player/record player, and tape recorder, the day before the interview. Respondents using any of these equipments were asked about time spent using the equipment. For equipment not used the day before the respondents were asked when it was last used. Television watchers and radio listeners were asked about which channels they had watched/listened to. Video watchers were asked if they watched a recorded program, a rented movie or a movie they had bought. All respondents were asked if the had been reading any of the following the day before: morning paper, evening paper, weekly magazine, comics or any other magazine, or book. If so, they were asked how many and for how long period. Book readers were also asked what kind of literature they were reading.
