8 pages., Online via UI Catalog., Authors investigated sources of information used by inhabitants of agricultural villages and rural areas, spanning the period 2012-2018. Findings showed that "interest in new mass media-the Internet grew significantly, whereas their interests in television or radio broadcasts decreased. It has also pointed out that the trend to read daily press and specialized papers increased. Village inhabitants (not a farmer) preferred daily press and journals, whereas farmers chose specialised press."
Sampling of Australian information-type television shows revealed that only 1.3% of the time was devoted to nutrition. Authors suggested that nutritionists need to work with the media to increase the amount of nutrition information on television and ensure higher profile of messages that involve variety, balance and a more comprehensive depiction of a healthful diet.
