Lietuvos gyventojų reprezentatyvios apklausos rezultatai rodo, kad visuomenės pasitikėjimas VT įstaigomis ir jų darbuotojomis (-ais) yra vidutinis (6 balai iš 10). Statistinė analizė atskleidė, kad pasitikėjimo lygį lemia individualus (t. y. tarnautojų atsakomybės ir pagarbos klientui principai) ir institucinis (sistemos) (t. y. įstaigų darbo santykiuose taikomi nešališkumo ir objektyvumo principai, institucinė savireguliacija ir integralumas) lygmenų veiksniai. Tad šių veiksnių vystymas ir tobulinimas leistų padidinti pasitikėjimo lygį tarp Lietuvos gyventojų. Results of representative survey among Lithuanian population (2016) show that public trust in civil service organizations and public officials is moderate (6 points of 10). Statistical analysis reveals that level of the trust is predetermined by individual (i.e. the officials’ responsibility, respect to the client principles) and institutional / system based (i.e. principles of fairness and objectivity, institutional self-regulation and integrity) factors. Thus, improvements and developments of the factors would lead to increase in public trust.

Diskusijose apie šeimos socialinės institucijos pokyčius reikšminga vieta tenka tos pat lyties porų šeiminių teisių aptarimui. Todėl aktualu žinoti kaip šias teises (tarp kurių svarbiausios: teisė sudaryti juridiškai pripažįstamą santuoką ir teisė ugdyti vaikus, įsivaikinti) vertina visuomenė. Siekiant nustatyti Lietuvos gyventojų požiūrį į tos pačios lyties porų šeimines teises atlikta reprezentatyvi, atstovaujanti visai populiacijai, apklausa. Apklausta 1005 vyresnių nei 18 metų žmonių. Apklausos rezultatai rodo, kad dauguma respondentų 866 (86,3%) nepritaria tos pat lyties asmenų santuokai. Daugiau ar mažiau pritariantys tos pat lyties asmenų poros teisei registruoti santuoką buvo 135 (13,4%) respondentų. Dar žymesnis nepritarimas tos pat lyties asmenų poros teisei įsivaikinti. Šiai teisei nepritarė 952 (94,8%), o pritarė – 49 (4,9%) respondentų. Nustatytas teigiamas ryšys tarp palankumo tos pat lyties asmenų poros šeiminėms teisėms ir amžiaus, išsilavinimo bei miestų dydžio (labiau palankus jaunimas, turintys aukštąjį išsilavinimą asmenys, vilniečiai). A discussion about family rights of the same sex couples plays an important role in a discourse of the family’s institution future. For this reason it is important to know the public opinion (attitudes) towards these rights (right to register a family, right to adopt and educate a child for homosexuals). In October 2014, a representative survey was carried out and 1005 adult respondents were interviewed. According to this survey, majority of the population (86,3%) is against the possibility to register a marriage for homosexuals, and even more (94,8%) is against the possibility to adopt a child. More tolerant towards the rights of homosexuals is the younger generation, people having university education, living in big towns (especially in Vilnius).

Straipsnio tikslas yra išnagrinėti Lietuvos žiniasklaidos auditorijos fragmentaciją rinkimų kampanijos metu ir nustatyti, kurie kanalai labiausiai gali susieti auditoriją tarpusavyje. Straipsnyje apžvelgiama fragmentacijos reikšmė demokratijai ir jos tyrimuose vartojamos sąvokos, pristatomi empirinio tyrimo požiūriai, besiremiantys auditorijos sutapimo analize. Remiantis reprezentatyvios apklausos duomenimis ir pristatytais požiūriais, analizuojama Lietuvos žiniasklaidos auditorijos fragmentacija. Kadangi nustatytas gana didelis skirtingų kanalų susiklojimas, straipsnyje daroma išvada, kad Lietuvos žiniasklaidos auditorija kol kas nėra labai fragmentiška. Tačiau palyginimas su ankstesnių metų duomenimis rodo tam tikrus fragmentacijos didėjimo polinkius. Labiausiai Lietuvos žiniasklaidos auditoriją susiejantis kanalas yra televizija, tačiau vis didesnę svarbą įgyja ir populiarūs interneto portalai. The aim of the article is to analyse the extent of media audience fragmentation in Lithuania during the 2012 Parliament election campaign and to define which media channels are best able to unify the audience. Increasing fragmentation of media audience raises concerns about its possible effects on democracy. The concerns are that different fragments of the audience will not hear each other and will not talk to each other, which poses a threat to the unity of political community and hampers a constructive discussion on the common matters and consensus based common decisions. However, audience fragmentation is still under-researched empirically. The article uses data from a representative survey conducted after the 2012 Parliamentary elections and asks questions on the pre-election period. Methodologically, the analysis is based on the analysis of audience duplication of different media outlets, as well as network analysis to visualise the duplication of audiences. The article analyses data on the use of different news-oriented media outlets with the largest audience share from all media branches (television, radio, daily newspapers, and internet portals) and calculations of their audience duplication. Although there is no firm point of comparison to assess the extent of fragmentation (e.g. historical data), the data show a considerable overlap of media audiences. Most probably, the fragmentation would be larger in the periphery of the media system, but the analysis of the main media shows a considerable overlap. Therefore, the main conclusion is made that the Lithuanian media audience is not (yet) fragmented. The media that unites the biggest share of the audience is television. Although it is positive that it is still able to connect different fragments, in terms of content it is negative that during the pre-election period it had comparatively little amount of information on election campaign, parties and candidates. However, a very popular media outlet competing with television was the biggest internet news portal, which had a huge amount of information on elections. The article also includes analysis of agenda fragmentation in the audience which revealed the tendency of internet users to have a more fragmented agenda than the part of the audience that doesn’t use the internet. However, in comparison to similar Norwegian data on agenda fragmentation, the agenda of the Lithuanian audience could not be regarded as fragmented. In the future, the analysis of audience fragmentation will be dependent on the collection of comparable data, since it would provide data for comparison and assessing the trends of fragmentation in time. These data would also help to solve some methodological issues that are also discussed in the article, like choice of criteria for assessment and having a point of comparison.
