The share of people’s attention to news in social networks has grown significantly compared to 2017
According to the Iran digital economy annotation, The latest ISPA survey shows that less than 38% of people follow the news mostly through radio and 31% prefer social networks for this. This statistic has undergone changes compared to the survey of 2017, and it seems that in the near future, Radio and Television will completely hand over the media authority to social networks.
The Center for Opinion Polling of Iranian Students has conducted a survey about the twelfth election of the Islamic Council. This survey was conducted face-to-face in November 2023 with a sample size of 5086 among citizens aged 18 and over living all over our country.
“Hassan Moslemi Naeini”, the head of the Academic Jihad, in an interview with ISNA, mentioned the results of the first wave of this survey, comparing it with the data of 2017 , which provides interesting information about media authority in Iran.
According to Naeini, the recent findings showed that the national media and virtual social networks are respectively the most important sources for following news among the people; That is, 37.9% of people said that they follow the news mostly through radio and television. Also, 31% follow the country’s news through virtual social networks and 8.9% through satellite.
Of course, it is worth mentioning that most of the country’s news and information content on social networks is produced by official news agencies and news bases.
In 2017, on the eve of the 12th presidential election, ISPA conducted a survey with a sample size of 1000 people in Tehran. In that survey, people’s trust in media sources was discussed, and among the media, TV and Radio was at the top of the trust of the people of Tehran with 51.5%. 13% of people trusted satellite networks and 12% trusted social networks the most.
The fact that 31% of people currently prefer to follow news from social networks shows that trust in social networks has increased and probably in the near future, Iran tv broadcasting will completely hand over the media authority to social networks. The decrease in the share of satellite networks in following the news is also interesting in its own way.
