A new poll says that 7News is perceived as the most credible television newscast in Belize. Now, it's not our style to blow our own horn, but the findings do provide some compelling information, and so we'll share.
The poll was conducted by Karim Berges - who has conducted a number of noteworthy polls dating back to 2008. He says this one was a selective poll where he chose 100 persons, primarily adults with a university degree or persons employed in a senior position with an established business or firm. The five question survey sought to establish quote, "media perception within the higher learning population of Belize."
The first question was "Which local newscast do you think is most likely to influence change in your society?" 8% of responde4tns said Channel 5, 60% said Channel 7, while 16% said LOVE TV and PLUS TV.
The second question was "Which local newscast do you think is most informative?"
Again 60% said Channel 7, 12% said Channel 5, 20% said LOVE TV and 8% said PLUS TV.
84% of respondents said they watch more than one newscast.
Question four asked, "Which newscast do you think "most people" watch?" 68% said Channel 7, 20% said Channel 5, 0% said LOVE TV, 4% said PLUS TV and 8% said a combination of Channel 5 and 7.
The final question was "Which newscast do you find to be most credible?"
Again, 60% said Channel 7, 16% said Channel 5, 12% said LOVE TV and 12% said PLUS TV.
Berges says he did the poll for market research purposes.
