Indonesian citizens appear to be quite selective in their consumption of online news.
This is evident from a survey report resulting from a collaboration between the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), titled *Status Literasi Digital di Indonesia 2022* (Digital Literacy Status in Indonesia 2022).
The report shows that a majority, or 53%, of respondents always question online news containing quotes from anonymous sources or lacking sources altogether.
Furthermore, 46% of respondents never continue reading news containing numerous spelling errors or typos.
Additionally, 44% of respondents never continue reading a news article if it does not include the author's name.
On the other hand, only a small percentage of respondents exhibit negative habits, such as frequently consuming news without clear sources, often reading news with typos, and frequently accessing news without clearly stated author names. The detailed percentages can be seen in the graph above.
The Ministry of Kominfo and KIC conducted this survey among 10,000 internet users aged 13-70, spread across 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia.
The survey was conducted from August to September 2022 through face-to-face interviews. Sampling was done using multistage random sampling, with a margin of error of approximately 0.98% and a 95% confidence interval.
Respondents had diverse backgrounds, ranging from housewives and entrepreneurs to workers, students, farmers, and others. The complete report on this survey can be accessed and downloaded via the link: https://survei.literasidigital.id/.
