First source of information The list of responses offered in this questionnaire included television, radio, daily newspapers, weekly newspapers and magazines, as well as the Internet and social networks. It is assumed that the Internet includes web portals, including the websites of so-called traditional media, since social networks were listed separately. As regards responses at the BiH level, the Internet and television are the most important sources of information, at 37,3% and 26,7% respectively. Social networks are in third place, while daily newspapers, radio, weekly newspapers and magazines appear only in negligible percentages. In Republika Srpska, the situation is similar when it comes to newspapers and weekly magazines. On the other hand, the absolute domi­nance of the Internet, at 45,9%, and social networks, at 35,8%, is evident, while television ranks third, at 15,7%. Quality of information The survey results concerning the perceived quality of information that citizens receive through the above-men­tioned media correspond to the findings on the primary source of information. Almost half of the population in both entities believe that the Internet provides the high­est-quality information. However, in the FBiH social networks are not as prominent, with only 4,2% of respond ­ents trusting information on these platforms to be of high quality, as they are in Republika Srpska, where this figure is 34,6%. In the FBiH, 45,8% of residents prefer television, although it has dropped to second place compared with last year. In Republika Srpska, television ranks third, with just under 15% trusting the information quality of television networks. Statements related to political influence in the media concerning women’s rights, attacks on female journalists, treatment of female journalists, and their protection Respondents were able to choose between fully agreeing or fully disagreeing with the following statements, with the option of leaning toward one response or the other. This was graphically represented through shades of pink for“fully agree” and orange for“do not agree at all”. In the chart, the lighter shade of pink represents a more decisive response,“fully agree”, while the slightly darker shade represents“agree”. The darker shade of orange is at the opposite end of the scale and represents respondents who do not agree with the statement at all, while the lighter shade represents those who “somewhat disagree”. 8 Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung e.V.
