The link between changing news use and trust: longitudinal analysis of 46 countries
Abstract . Changing levels of public trust in the news are of deep concern to both researchers and practitioners. We use data from 2015 to 2023 in 46 count
New article in Journal of Communication looking at changes to trust in news across 46 countries in the last 10 years.
Trust in news declined in just over half of countries.
It decreased more in countries where TV news use has declined, and/or where social media news use has grown.
