The Media Survey-2000 Questionnaire consists of four main sections:\n\n1.\tHousehold Roster Section: includes demographic variables such as age, sex, relation to head of household, date of birth and refugee status.\n\n2.\tHousehold Section: includes demographic and economic variables related to head of household such as educational status, employment status, occupation and marital status. It also includes variables related to TV set, newspapers, magazines, availability of computer and access to the Internet.\n\n3.\tIndividuals aged (18 years and over) Section: includes demographic and economic variables related to the randomly selected individuals (18 years and over), such as educational status, employment status, occupation and marital status. It also includes variables related to reading newspapers, listening to radio, preferred program and time period for listening to radio.

The level of sampling error for the main indicators was considered, the result could be published at 4 subpopulations (National level, The West Bank Level, Gaza Strip level and Governorate level), and 10% incomplete questionnaire was assumed.\n\nThe overall sample was 347 EAs, 241 in the West Bank and 106 in Gaza Strip. The number of households in the sample was 8,276 households, 5,733 in the West Bank and 2,543 in Gaza Strip.\n\n4.2.4 Sample Design:\nThe sample is a three-stage stratified cluster random sample.  The first stage involved the selection of a stratified random sample comprised of 347 enumeration areas. It should be noticed that the enumeration areas from localities that receive the transmission of many private (local) TV stations were given more opportunity. The second stage involved the enumeration of the first 24 dwellings from the beginning of each selected enumeration area. The third stage involved the random selection of two households member, one in the age group 18 years and over, and one in the age group (6-17) years. The selection of household members from the selected household in the field is done by using KISH random tables.\n\nStratification:\nFor the West Bank, two levels of stratification were made:\n1.\tStratification by Governorate.\n2.\tStratification by classifying localities within Governorate into two strata:\n\u00b7 Governorate center (main city).\n\u00b7 Localities outside Governorate centers.\n\nFor Gaza Strip, two levels of stratification were made:\n1. Stratification by Governorate.\n2.
