A significant portion of the Indonesian population frequently accesses fact-checking content to verify the accuracy of circulating information.

This is reflected in a survey conducted by the Indonesian Cyber Media Association (AMSI) in collaboration with researchers from Multimedia Nusantara University (UMN).

The survey found that 41.1% of respondents reported frequently accessing fact-checking content, while 9.72% reported doing so very frequently.

Furthermore, 9.02% of respondents rarely accessed fact-checking content, 39.5% sometimes, and 0.62% almost never.

According to F. X. Lilik Dwi Mardjianto, the research coordinator and journalism lecturer at UMN, the motivation for accessing fact-checking content is influenced by profession and available free time.

"Most (access fact-checking content) because of their work. However, it's highly possible to expand its use in daily activities performed by the audience," said Lilik in a virtual press conference on Tuesday, July 26, 2022.

The survey also found that social media is one of the platforms widely used by the public to access fact-checking content, in addition to online news portals and search engines.

This survey involved 1,876 respondents representing news audiences in both Java and outside Java, conducted between March and April 2022. After data cleaning, 1,596 valid data points were obtained.

In addition to the poll, the survey also employed a focus group discussion (FGD) method involving 26 participants. The FGD sessions were conducted during May-June 2022, considering audience diversity.
