What is Available?

The Panorama Survey

Panorama comprises three components:

• Face to face interview including Industry standard readership data collection
• Self completion diary
• Industry standard television data from People Meters

The Panorama sample is selected in a true random manner that ensures the responses received are completely representative of the population.

All Panorama data is weighted to reflect the geographic area, age, sex, household size and number of adults in the household, in accordance with the latest census population statistics.

Panorama's methodology ensures high response rates. Measures such as keeping the questionnaire to a manageable length so as to reduce respondent burden, well designed and easy to fill out self completion diaries, and personal pick up of questionnaires, all contribute to quality data and strong response rates.

Panorama interviews approximately 12,000 respondents aged 10 and over annually throughout both city and country areas of New Zealand.

Nielsen Media Research is a Quality Accredited Company to ISO 9001 standards. This means all our research procedures are independently audited every six months to ensure that our internal and external systems meet the required industry quality standards.

The interviewers personally collect the self-completion survey one week after placement. Finally, our field supervisors, to ensure that no interview falsificaton has taken place, check 10 % of all completed interviews.

Methodology

A short interview conducted by fully trained interviewers, at the respondent's doorstep for all sections requiring the use of show cards. These sections include the collection of reading data for newspapers and magazines (collected via the Recency Method), demographics, radio listening, viewing, cinema and travel & tourism.

A short diary filled out by the same respondent who has already completed the Face-to-Face survey. The diary is purposely kept reasonably short so as to reduce respondent burden and to ensure quality data and excellent response rates. Information collected through the diary includes product and service usage, ownership, Internet usage, hobbies and interests. Each Self-Completion Diary is personally picked up after one week by the same interviewer.

Television data is collected via the official AGB Nielsen Media Research television currency through PeopleMeters in 500 homes across New Zealand. This data is statistically matched with the Panorama sample using Data Fusion.

Using Panorama

Panorama data is conveniently accessed through Microscope, a Windows-based software data analysis program that allows the user to produce their own easy-to-read computer tables.
