Abstract

Information plays a more and more important role in the functioning of a modern society. Various traditional and up-to-date sources of information are available. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the relations age ? patterns of obtaining information by the adult Poles on the base of individual and aggregated data. The respondents are divided into ten-year cohorts. The associations are analyzed against this background by applying some visualization and multivariate statistical methods as the principal components analysis with biplot representation, trellis graphs and composite indicators. Three specific objectives are specified. The first one is to portray the situation in Poland in comparison to other European countries, the second one is to identify the relationships age - the use of the information sources and the third one is to evaluate the potential information gaps occurring between the cohorts.
