About the 2015 RJI Mobile Media Survey
This survey was conducted for RJI in June 2015 by Ipsos, one of the world’s largest
market research companies. It included 1,001 U.S. adults. The questionnaire was
drafted by Samuel Tham, a graduate student in the Missouri School of Journalism,
under the guidance of Esther Thorson, RJI’s director of research.
Unlike the three previous annual RJI Mobile Media News Consumption Surveys,
which included users as well as non-users of smartphones and tablets, this survey
was confined to those who had standard-size smartphones and phablets —
smartphones with screens that measure diagonally 5.1 – 6.99 inches.
Ipsos maintains a database that collects demographic information from commercial
list brokers. Individuals in this database are offered incentives to participate in various
surveys. For this survey, Ipsos sought to match respondents as close to the U.S.
population as possible.
About the Reynolds Journalism Institute
