Young Americans Show Growing Distrust in News, but Aspiring Journalist Remains Undeterred
The News Literacy Project survey shows 84% of U.S. teens describe news media negatively, citing bias and unethical practices amid low trust in journalistic standards.
- This fall, the News Literacy Project found 84% of 13- to 18-year-old Americans gave a negative one-word descriptor of today’s news media.
- Amid social-media noise and political 'fake news' rhetoric, few teens follow news regularly or learn journalism’s purpose in schools and classrooms, while industry troubles and misinformation complicate trust.
- Many teens get their information from social media and YouTube, and more than half believe journalists engage in unethical behaviors, while less than a third trust core journalistic practices.
