Overview
The Trust in News Project looks at trust in digital news in Brazil, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, markets which account for more than one billion internet users and a wide range of media systems and contexts.
The project involves qualitative and quantitative research, and ongoing engagement with journalists and other stakeholders. Its goal is to understand what drives trust for audiences in different contexts, and to identify evidence-based recommendations for publishers and platforms. | Read latest report
