- Title: The new landscape of facts and trust Subject: Lee Rainie, director of Internet, Science and Technology research at the Pew Research Center, will discuss the Center's latest findings about how people use social media, how they think about news in the Trump Era, how they try to establish and act on trust and where they turn for expertise in a period where so much information is contested.
- The public’s trust in government remains at historic lows. Today, just 19% say they trust the federal government to do what is right always or most of the time, which is little changed from recent years. Fewer than three-in-ten Americans have expressed trust in government in every major national poll conducted since July 2007 – the longest period of low trust in government seen in more than 50 years. While Democrats are more likely than Republicans to say they trust the government, trust remains low across partisan lines: Just 11% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they trust the government, compared with 26% of Democrats and Democratic leaners.
- A recent Pew Research Center survey (also part of our ongoing work on polarization) found deep distrust in government and considerable cynicism about politics and elected officials alike. But despite these negative assessments, majorities believe government does a good job on many issues and want it to have a major role on a wide range of policy areas. [They still see a role for government, but they do not see it as very effective in many cases.]
- 2014 report: look at relationship b/t current pol env’t in Amer & people’s pol news habits Shed light on pol polarization: looks at ways people get info abt gov’t & pol in news media, social media & interpersonally Overall, those w/ most consistent ideological views on left & right have info streams distinct from indiv w/ more mixed pol views – & very distinct from each other. Can be overstated. Study also suggests that virtually impossible to live in ideo bubble. Most Americans rely on array of outlets, & most hear dissenting political views Consis cons (furthest on right): tightly clustered around 1 news source, far more than any other ideo group About ½ cite Fox News as main political news source Asked about 36 news sources: expressed greater distrust than trust of 24 Consis Libs (furthest on left): Not as tightly clustered around 1 source; a greater range of news outlets named as main source – like NPR & NYT Express more trust than distrust of 28 of 36 news outlets
- At least as impt as where turn for news is who they trust (strong ideo diff). Chart: levels of trust to distrust for each source (overall & by ideological group) Purple: more trusted than distrusted Yellow: more distrusted than trusted Grey: about equally trusted and distrusted As already suggested, libs trust much larger mix of news outlets. Of 36, 28 more trusted than distrusted by consis libs. Among consis cons, 24 draw more distrust than trust. Of 8 outlets more trusted than distrusted by consis cons, all but one more distrusted by consis libs.
