This study was conducted by Totum Research on behalf of News Media Canada. Online interviews (800) were conducted in February 2019 across all provinces, in English and French. Respondents were asked to rate media measured on 16 different engagement characteristics (7 General Engagement, 5 News Engagement, 4 Advertising Engagement). Results were indexed based on ratings for each media compared to the average rating.
