Internews’ annual media consumption survey shows a dramatic drop in Ukrainians’ use of Russian media. The survey shows that Russian TV viewership shrank to 8% from 27% in 2014, and Russian internet use slid to 27% in 2015 from 44% in 2014. While lower consumption rates for Russian TV might be partially explained by the Ukrainian government’s initiative to ban transmissions of Russian TV signals within the country, internet access has not been restricted.

This summary includes all the field media research conducted by U-Media program in period of 2009-2011. The latest surveys represent dynamics over 2009-2011.

U-Media held survey of investigative reporters in November-December 2010; 350 journalists from different types of media were interviewed.
