The truth....in your local newspaper?

Filed under: News

When it comes to trustworthiness, Americans differ from the rest of the world in many ways, according to Saurage Research.

In most countries, citizens trust the media more than they trust the government (63% versus 52%).

However, Americans say they trust the government more (67% versus 59%) per a recent BBC/Reuters/Media Center poll.

The countries included in this survey were Brazil, Egypt, Germany, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Russia, South Korea, the UK and the US.


And which medium do Americans trust more? Local newspapers received the highest rating (81%), followed by.....friends and family.
