Least trusted sources of coronavirus news U.S. 2020
As the coronavirus has spread throughout the United States and across the globe, consumers have turned to the media to inform about them how the pandemic is progressing and have been seeking news from sources they trust, and 60 percent of respondents to a U.S. survey said that they did not trust social media to provide correct information about the outbreak. Social media was by far the least trusted news outlet for coronavirus updates, followed by podcasts and online-only news sites. Conversely, traditional media outlets like newspapers and radio fared better in terms of consumer trust, along with cable and network news.
