Question Wording
I like the idea of it being two separate questions. These two questions would be great to mark the start of the survey as they are general and easy to answer while getting to the point quickly. After these it would be easy to flow into other topics of political participation of the individual without it being too jumpy.
I think the survey is meant to be done over the telephone though, so the question may need some rewording with "check all that apply". Perhaps after asking where they obtain their news, we could just ask to specify which company or news organization to avoid listing too many names? "Where do you receive your news 1. Newspapers 2. Dailies 3. The internet 4. Canadian television 5. American television 6. Social media 7. Other - Please specify your choice"
