TV News: Watched But Decreasingly Trusted

TV NEWS: WATCHED BUT DECREASINGLY TRUSTED
[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Americans still get most of their news from TV, but believe increasingly less of what they see and hear there. Those are some of the findings of a Pew Research Center biennial study of news consumption. According to the study, 57% of the respondents said they regularly watch TV news, compared to 40% for reading newspapers, 36% for radio and 23% for online. The TV figure is down from 60% in 2004, but up over 2002 (54%) and 2000 (56%). But while TV still tops the list, the number of people who say they believe "all or most" of what those news outlets had to say continues its precipitous slide.
