According to the survey conducted by IPSOS, 74 percent of Hungarians watched news programs on television at least three times a week. Another 72 percent of the respondents used social media for the same purpose.
Online news consumption
Online news portals represent the main source of information for many people, and modern digital devices allow us to consume news anywhere and anytime. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that according to the findings of a survey conducted in 2020, the majority of Hungarians used their smartphones to read news on the internet. When asked about their preferences, Hungarians enjoyed reading scientific or cultural news, while only a few showed interest in celebrity news and gossip.
Willingness to pay for online news
Even though most Hungarians informed themselves from news websites, only a few were willing to pay for this service. As the findings of a survey pointed it out, 24 percent of Hungarians would pay to access news on the internet. In 2020, Hungarians’ most common reason for refusing to pay for online news was that they could access the same information free of charge from other sources, while every fifth person claimed that they could not afford paying for news.
