Radio Liberty Newsline Internet survey

 

SwissPeaks were commissioned to conduct an internet survey on behalf of a collaborated project between Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Prague and Intermedia Survey Institute, Washington DC. A newsletter called ‘Newsline’ is circulated via e-mail periodically to subscribers informing them about local and regional news items. The internet survey was proposed to obtain subscriber opinion relating to newsletter content and design.

Methodology

A questionnaire provided to SwissPeaks via the research team at InterMedia Survey Institute was scripted and hosted using Bellview WEB; Pulse Train’s advanced software for conducting online research. SwissPeaks were responsible for scripting and management of the fieldwork operation.

The fieldwork period ran for 6 weeks during the summer of 2006, and approximately 650 complete interviews were collected via the internet survey. Upon completion of the survey SwissPeaks produced final topline reports, and prepared data for end user analysis in Pulsar (Pulse Train) and SPSS Base (SPSS Inc.).

We also delivered a formatted verbatim report from which codeframes were prepared. With the capability of SwissPeaks in-house coding database all verbatim responses were mass coded, and relevant reports were delivered in a timely manner.

This was one of the first international projects SwissPeaks had conducted and, we were 100% successful in ensuring that all subscribers were invited, all field operations ran were managed efficiently and for delivering accurate and timely final analyses – the key attribute of our company.
