Nepal Media and Democracy Survey 2017 (Wave II) carried out by Sharecast is an initiative to help
media organizations make informed decisions based on their audience interest and reach.The survey
intends to:
CURRENT STUDY:
PREVIOUS RESEARCH EXPERIENCE:
Sharecast conducted its first nationwide study
Nepal Media and Democracy Survey Wave
I in January of 2016.This quantitative study
was conducted among 4500 respondents from
25 districts of Nepal in partnership with 14
local radio stations. Survey covers broadly
three areas for public discourse: general media
landscape and media consumption patters,
detail breakdown of audience rating, choices
and expectations for 14 different local stations
in Nepal as well as latest Democracy, Economic
and Governance perception highlights. Based
on the feedback received from stations, different
organizations and individuals interested in media
survey data Findings of the survey were shared
among partner radio organizations, media
organizations in Kathmandu using media as one
of the tool of advocacy as well as individuals and
organizations interested in audience data.
Wave II of Nepal Media and Democracy Survey
2017 was launched based on the learning and
outcomes of this survey.
• To find out reach of each media traditional or digital and communication tools
• To understand different media consumption patters of Nepali people and level of trust and
preferences.
• To examine the popularity and usefulness of different programs, stations and outputs
• To evaluate audience popularity of individual radio stations and their programs as well as
suggestions for change.
• To understand the relevance and credibility of various media and the information disseminated

Findings of this component are not included in this report.

SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
(DEMOGRAPHICS OF MEDIA SURVEY II):
The sample characteristics very closely resemble
the population characteristics. Of the total 5,555
respondents, 52.5 percent were female and
47.4% were male. 29.2% respondents are of age
groups 16 – 25, 25.3% belong to age of 26 – 35,
19.1% belong to 36 – 45 age and rest are aged
above 45. In terms of ecological regions, 6.2%
of the respondents are from Mountain, 43.9%
from Hill and 49.8% from Terai region.The larger
proportion of respondents from the Hilly region
can be accounted by the greater population
density in that region. Of the total respondents,
14.7 percent are illiterate and 9.2 percent are
literate but with no formal education.Around
41 percent have education up to secondary, 14.2
percent have completed the SLC, 13. 2 percent
have completed the intermediate education,
and 7.8 percent have education above the
intermediate level. Regardless of the education
level of the respondents, our interviewers
ensured that each respondent completely
understood the question and that none of the
questions required additional interpretation.
Bahun are over represented in the sample, 24.9
percent respondents were Bahun, and 16.1
percent are Chhetri, 6.8 percent Newar, 6.4
percent Tharu, 5.7 percent are Magar.
SAMPLE DESIGN
Nepal Media and Democracy Survey Wave
II with a sample size of 5,555 was spread in
34-sample district of Nepal covering 282VDC/
Municipalities and 370 sample wards.The
random sampling (probability sampling) was
employed in each stage of sampling.Three-
stage sampling was adopted in the selection
process of sample. In the first stage wards were
selected using PPS sampling and in the second
stage household was selected using systematic
random sampling and finally respondents from
the sample household were selected using KISH
Grid Method.
The survey produces +/- 1.3% margin of error at
the 95% confidence level at the aggregate level
finding.The survey will not claim the same level
of precision for the disaggregated level findings.

DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE:
DATA ANALYSIS AND FORMATTING:
LIMITATION AND ASSUMPTION:
Digital data collection technology with GPS
using Mobile and tablets were used in the data
collection process. 38 field enumerators were
deployed in the data collection and data were
captured in the mobile-based REMO Software
through face-to-face interview at households.
7 field teams were formed. In one team of 6
members, 5 were enumerators and one was a
supervisor. Mobile based data collection was
created by the Nepali technology company-
Rooster Logic.
A two-day training and one day pre-test was
conducted for the field workers who were
covering various aspects of survey design.The
training mainly focuses on sampling design, field
plan, interview, questionnaire, roles, responsibility
and mobile technology for data collection.
The collected digital data using mobile
technology was further processed using
Microsoft Excel and statistical package for the
While we are confident that our random
sampling method yields a representative
population, just like any other survey report,
our skepticisms arise from the response bias
that might have affected the data. In answering
some questions, the respondents might have
been tempted to answer in order to impress the
interviewer.While it is definitely hard to gauge
the level of honesty with which the interviewees
INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT:
A closed structured questionnaire was
formulated in Nepali with series of discussion
and coordination of concerned expert who were
well known about the Nepali media landscape,
governance, politics and election system of
Nepal. Questionnaire were translated into
English only after field test and orientation to
field enumerators. Before implementing the
questionnaire in the field, the sequence, meaning,
scope and understating of question were
pre-tested in the field and they were revised
accordingly as per the feedback of pre-test.
7 Field Supervisors were mobilized in outskirts
of Kathmandu valley (outside of sampled area in
Kathmandu) using tablet devices.
For the data accuracy and quality control,
we adopted multiple activities of field
monitoring during the fieldwork.We reached
around 10 districts randomly and observed
4 to 5 interviews on the spot in each. Our
partners JHU CCP and BBC Media Action
were also became a part of field monitoring
in order to check fieldwork.Along with
this, we accomplished back check of nearly
500 interviews.We called randomly to our
respondents about the interview, topics, time
spent, way of questioning, response and behavior
of enumerator etc. Besides this, we checked
GPS points of every respondent’s on everyday
in order to ensure the methodology is adopted
rightly.
social science (SPSS). SPSS was used for the data
analysis and MS Excel was used to manage and
format the output findings generated by SPSS.
responded, we are assured that majority of the
questions were objective enough to dissuade
response biases.
The data obtained for the “other” category
for sex may not be representative of the entire
queer population of Nepal given the lack of
sufficient responses.
