U.S. Seeks Data on Libyan Media Consumption

The U.S. Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG) last month awarded a $100,000 contract to a British research firm to assess media use in Libya. According to a contract award (#BBG50-C-11-0073) located during a routine search of the FedBizOpps database, Oxford Research International will conduct phone surveys to detemine the audience size of Alhurra, BBG's Arabic language television channel, as well as Radio Sawa, its Arabic radio service.

Oxford likewise will attempt to obtain data on "general patterns of media use" and "views on various social and political questions may be included in the survey," according to the Request for Proposals in Solicitation #BBG50-R-11-0023.
