Summary

³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Media Action conducted 20 qualitative focus group discussions (FGDs) with Russian speakers from Estonia and Lativa across a range of age bands to explore how they consume media and find out what their media needs are.

They want trustworthy content that reflects their lives – in the same format and the same language.
