Trust in international news media in partially free media environments

Report

This report is the third stage of a three-phase project on ‘International News: Provision, Consumption and Trust in a Rapidly Changing Broadcasting Environment’. The report investigates changing attitudes to trust in international broadcast news suppliers in five countries: Kenya, Egypt, Senegal, India and Pakistan. The report collates audience-research findings from fieldwork carried out in the five markets and examines attitudes to trust in different sources of news, including domestic, regional and international news media across the whole population.
