Global trust in journalism sinks to record low, study finds
A Reuters Institute study of almost 100,000 people in 48 markets finds global trust in news at 37%, with the UK at 30% and the US at 25%, driven by anxiety over long-running issues like immigration and inflation; even as more people turn to social media and online video (77% watch weekly), confidence in those formats trails traditional outlets, and trust in AI-generated answers remains low.
