Hello:
You are invited to participate in our Perception Survey - Is all news content “Paid News” today?

Paid News can be defined as
“Any news or analysis appearing in any media (Print & Electronic) for a price in cash or kind as consideration” - (Drafting Committee of Press Council).

When the distinction between news and advertisements start blurring, when advertisements double up as news that have been paid for, or when "news" is published in favor of vested interests by selling editorial spaces

It will take approximately 5 minutes of your time to complete the questionnaire.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. There are no foreseeable risks associated with this project. However, if you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point. It is very important for us to learn your opinions.

Your survey responses will be strictly confidential and data from this research will be reported only in the aggregate. Your information will be coded and will remain confidential.
