Description:
Since 1986 the SOM-institute has been carrying out an annual nation-wide survey of Swedish opinions. This is accordingly the eighteenth survey in this series. The SOM-institute is a collaboration between three departments at Göteborg University: the Institute for Journalism and Mass Communication, the Department of Political Science, and the School of Public Administration. Since 1998 the survey includes two nation representative samples and uses two different mail questionnaires. One of the questionnaires mainly deals with questions on politics, economy and working life, while the other mainly deals with media, culture and health.

The questionnaire on politics include twelve different subject fields: news; politics and society; Sweden and the surrounding world; mass media, the internet, and possession of technical equipment; society, public service and democracy; consumption and society; knowledge and
