Truth in Media

We all use the mass media- whether it be newspapers, online information or tv. But do we trust it to report fairly and accurately?

Some say that commercial sources are less trust worthy than public broadcasting. In Australia as well as some other countries such as the UK, Germany, Holland there is a strong public broadcast ethos, but less so in the USA, where National Public Radio [ NPR] is only a small player, but some say, a growing one.

A recent study, shown below shows that for the USA, we now have less trust in the mass media.

And this was before the recent scandalous stuff appearing about the various arms of the Murdoch media empire in the UK as well as in the USA.

Go figure........
