Supplementary notes

The source did not provide information on the age of the respondents.
The source also made the following remarks:
1. „As this survey deals with news consumption, we filtered out anyone who said that they had not consumed any news in the past month, in order to ensure that irrelevant responses didn’t adversely affect data quality. This category averaged around three percent.“
2. „(…) online samples will tend to under-represent the consumption habits of people who are not online (typically older, less affluent, and with limited formal education). In this sense it is better to think of results as representative of online populations who use news at least once a month. “
3. "Please note that in (...) Chile (...) [the sample tends] to be based more around urban areas, which should be taken into consideration when interpreting results. "
