Indonesian young people rely on various sources of information to understand the domestic political situation. The most common source is online news social media.
This is according to a national survey report by the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) titled *Politics in the Eyes of Young People: Perceptions and Trends of Gen Z & Millennials towards Presidential Candidates, Political Parties, and the 2024 Election Campaign*.
The proportion of young people who chose online news social media as a source was recorded at 80.4% of respondents.
The second most common source was television news, chosen by 44.6% of respondents. This was followed by online news portals, chosen by 36.6% of respondents.
Some respondents also sought political information on social media accounts of political channels (18.7%), while 17% of respondents sought information from print media.
Meanwhile, social media accounts of political actors such as presidential candidates, political parties, the president, and party chairmen received a smaller proportion, as shown in the attached graph.
The KIC survey involved 1,005 respondents proportionally distributed across Indonesia. The majority of respondents were from Java (54.4%), Sumatra (22.5%), and Sulawesi (7.8%). Respondents from Kalimantan, Bali-Nusa, and Maluku Papua ranged from 3.6% to 6.4%.
Respondents consisted of Gen Z (aged 17-26 years) (50.4%) and Millennials (aged 27-42 years) (49.6%). The gender breakdown was 60.6% male and 39.4% female respondents.
Data collection was conducted online from October 11-17, 2023, using tSurvey data collection with a non-probability sampling method. The survey has a margin of error of approximately 3.1% at a 95% confidence level.
