Social Networks as the Dominant Platform for Communication between Young People

Journal Title: Media Literacy and Academic Research - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

In the spring of 2017, the sociological agency Median carried out a survey of awareness and ways of getting information by Czech students. The survey was conducted for the fourth time under the leadership of the educational program Jeden svet na školách. 33 randomly selected Czech secondary schools were involved in the survey. From each of them one class was selected, which meant the inclusion of 25 questionnaries from each secondary school. In addition, there was an online survey involving 200 more students. The net sample reached the amount of 1003 respondents, while data were balanced to represent the population of secondary school students between the ages of 15-20 according to sociodemography, regionality and type of school they attend. The aim of the survey was to identify ways and forms of communication and information gathering by students, especially in relation to social, socio-political problems and general awareness of the history and current status of the country.
