American Trust in Media Plummets; Only Congress Less Trusted Among Major US Institutions

Americans lost faith in the media over the last year, according to a new survey, trusting only Congress less among major American institutions.

Asked if they held a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in television news, 16 percent of Americans responded in the affirmative, down from 18 percent in 2020 and 2019. Another 21 percent said they trusted newspapers, down from 24 percent in 2020 and from 23 percent in 2019.

The shift coincided with the era of Donald Trump’s presidency, when trust in the media was often juxtaposed with trust in Trump’s presidency. It also coincided with the Covid-19 pandemic. The survey indicated the pandemic briefly inspired Americans to become more trusting of more institutions, though media was among those that benefited least.

The number of Americans who said they trusted in the medical system bumped up from 36 percent in 2019 to 51 percent in 2020, according to the survey, before declining to 44 percent this year. Trust in church or organized religion increased from 36 percent in 2019 to 42 percent the subsequent year, before falling to 37 percent in the latest study. Trust in public schools bumped up from 29 percent in 2019 to 41 percent the subsequent year before returning to 32 percent this year.
