Earlier today, Gallup released poll results about people’s trust and confidence in the media. The good news is that it’s higher than it was at this time last year - though only slightly. The bad news is that it’s still a few percentage points lower than it had been for the previous couple of years.
Frankly, the results don’t surprise me at all, and as the media evolves at the speed of light, the definition will either need to be updated by those giving the surveys, or the figures will stay where they are. The public holds a grudge, of course.
