According to a global study held in 2022, 57 percent of journalists believed that the public had lost trust in the media over the last twelve months. Although this means that more than half the journalists participating in the study held this view, this is a notable improvement from 2017, where 91 percent felt that consumers' trust in the media had dropped over the last year.
