The Reuters Institute For The Study Of Journalism recently released a report showing that trust levels in news vary hugely by country. Trust is highest in affluent Western European nations, primarily due to the presence of well-funded public service broadcasters. 65 percent of people in Finland agreed that "you can trust most news most of the time". In the United States, the epicenter of the fake news storm, trust was far lower at just 33 percent.
This chart shows the % agreeing "you can trust news most of the time" in selected countries.
Finland trusts media nearly twice as much as the US. Wonder why?
