American Trust in Media

American trust in media refers to the level of confidence that the public has in news organizations and journalists to provide accurate, fair, and unbiased information. Over recent years, this trust has declined due to factors such as the rise of partisan news sources, the spread of misinformation, and growing skepticism about the media's independence. Surveys often show that Americans are increasingly concerned about media bias and the impact of social media on news consumption. Trust in the media is crucial for informed citizenry and democratic engagement, as it influences how people perceive events and make decisions.
