From Brian Stetler's Reliable Sources newsletter at CNN

The news paradox: This new report from Oxford's Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism is like a splash of cold water to the face.
Around the world, according to this survey of nearly 100,000 news consumers in 48 markets, trust in news has fallen to a 10-year low. On a likely related note, people are increasingly soaking up news through YouTube, TikTok and AI chatbots, rather than seeking out publisher websites and TV channels directly.
The people surveyed generally say they want impartial news coverage, even as they stream the opposite. And they seem to value what traditional newsrooms strive to do. Only 3% say newfangled news "creators" are meeting all their info needs. But there's also a "growing sense of dissatisfaction" with the news coverage of big, global stories like immigration.
"Within the news ecosystem, an apparent paradox emerges between behavior and attitudes," Jim Egan writes. "There is continued change in news consumption in favor of social media, video networks and, more recently, AI. At the same time, concerns about trust in news, about misinformation, and about the wider impact of these platforms are all increasing."
Trust hits another new low: "Trust in news has dropped globally to 37%, the lowest level since the report started measuring trust in 2015," The Guardian's Amanda Meade writes in this recap. "The steepest declines were recorded in the Philippines (-10 points), Ireland (-9), Thailand, Peru and Poland (all -8)."
More from Meade: "In the United States only 25% say they trust 'most news most of the time.' This amounts to a five-point fall from 2025 and it's even lower (15%) among right-leaning Americans. Some news brands have experienced large drops in trust: CBS News and Fox News both fell 10 points year-on-year and CNN fell by six."
The report is full of rich detail and important nuance, so I highly recommend spending some time with it.
Egan concludes by saying that "trust and interest in news are falling, concerns about misinformation are rising, but at the same time a number of individual news brands are highly and broadly trusted, standing out against an abundance of content, and connecting with their target audiences." That's a reminder, he says, that "people still care about what news and journalism – in new shapes and some traditional forms – has to offer, and that the opportunity for news organizations is to ask how they can play a positive role in the lives of their audiences..."
