## Resource

Global trust in news is at an all-time low, with just 37% worldwide believing the media, down from 40% last year — and even lower in the UK at 30%, a 20-point plunge since a decade ago. Audiences are turning to social media and video platforms for updates, but confidence in those sources is weak at 22%, while only 10% feel influencers meet their news needs. AI chatbots, though gaining traction — especially among younger users — still earn just 20% trust. Despite the skepticism, support for impartial news remains strong. The data, drawn from nearly 100,000 people across 48 countries, reveals a clear message: people still crave news — but they want it simpler, more relatable, and more relevant to their daily lives.
