THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE 2020 SLOVAK PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS

05.05.2020 The main purpose of the monitoring was to determine if voters had ample information to make qualified choices at the ballot box and whether this information was sufficiently diverse, balanced, and of adequate quality. Since we wanted to have the most precise and fresh data on what sources people use to receive information about domestic politics, we outsourced the Focus polling agency to conduct a survey in the second half of January 2020. The results of the survey demonstrate that television continues to be the dominant source of information about domestic politics for the majority of people. Three times fewer people get information from online media (websites) and as much as six times fewer people get their information from social media. Based on the survey results, and in context with the 2020 parliamentary elections, we, therefore, decided to focus on monitoring of four nationwide TV channels, twelve selected online media as well as Facebook and Instagram.
