In 2023, regional and local newspapers were the most trusted news media according to French consumers. Respondents considered public media such as France Info and France Télévisions News trustworthy, while Le HuffPost was the most distrusted news media of the list.
The press – a trustworthy information source
The press, as a so-called traditional media, enjoys greater consumer confidence than other newer media. Although the shift to digital favors digital press over print media, nearly a third of French people say they read the press on a regular basis. This regular and loyal readership overwhelmingly trusts what they read in newspapers and magazines, although some are still convinced that journalists distort events.
