The American public’s trust in the news media is taking a nose-dive. It's heading downward as Gallup’s annual survey on confidence in major U.S. institutions hits a historic low.
Both newspapers and television news have seen a drop in trust over the past year. Each of these media outlets is losing an average of 5% of people who said they had a “great deal” of trust in such institutions.
When it comes to television news, they are now viewed as the second least-trusted organization in the U.S., after Congress, according to the poll. Just 11% of those polled in the survey reported: “quite a lot” of trust in television news.
Meanwhile, the newspaper industry is slightly ahead, jumping over big business and the criminal justice system as the fifth least-trusted association. Furthermore, the report states that this is the lowest point for newspapers in almost three decades of measurement.
